Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has directed an immediate scale-up of waste evacuation operations across the state. This comes following growing concerns over the accumulation of refuse in some areas, and Nigerians have been reacting.

In a press statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gbenga Akosile, Sanwo-Olu acknowledged residents’ complaints and assured Lagosians that efforts are underway to restore normal waste collection services.

The Governor added that he is not oblivious to the inconveniences and concerns caused by the inconvenient situation.

His words, “The Lagos State Government acknowledges the concerns of residents regarding the recent accumulation of refuse in some parts of the state and wishes to assure Lagosians that the situation is receiving the highest level of attention from Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the entire machinery of government.

We are not oblivious to the inconveniences and concerns occasioned by the situation. Lagosians deserve a clean, healthy and environmentally sustainable city, and this administration remains fully committed to delivering on that obligation.

We wish to reassure residents that this challenge is temporary. Indeed, substantial progress is already being recorded in several locations, and more improvements will become visible across the state in the days ahead.”
