The Lagos Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, has given assurance that the backlog of waste dotting the city scrape will be a thing of the past in seven days.
According to its Managing Director, Ibrahim Odumboni, LAWMA would exploit the gradual cessation of rainfall and appreciable progress on landfill rehabilitation to achieve the feat.
Odumboni, urged residents to bag and containerise their waste and support the efforts of the Authority to sanitise the environment by shunning indiscriminate waste disposal.
Also, the President of the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria, David Oriyomi, stressed that the PSP operators work closely with LAWMA to discharge their statutory duties.
