LAWMA reviews sanitation on Lagos highways
The Lagos State Waste Management Authority has mapped out plans to re-assess and restrategise its sanitation activities on some highways across the state to enable a thorough review of the operational modalities.
The media aide to the Governor, Jubril Gawat, disclosed this on Friday, November 24, on his X handle.
The Managing Director, Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin who made the announcement on Friday, November 24, said the immediate plan would not disrupt the waste management system in the state, as the remuneration of workers dues would remain unaffected throughout the emergent review exercise.
He noted that the decision was aimed at facilitating a comprehensive reassessment, planning, and potential redistribution of existing routes, to ensure the well-being of the dedicated personnel involved in street and road sanitation.
Gawat’s tweet read, “Some of the affected routes, which were 160 in number, include, Gbagada Expressway, Iyana Oworo to Charley Boy, Charley Boy to Anthony Oke, Anthony Oke to Oshodi Oke, Oshodi Oke to Anthony Oke, Charity to Iyana Isolo, Iyana Isolo to Balex, Odo Olowo to Cele-Under Bridge, Iyana Itire to Cowbell Bus Stop, Cowbell Bus Stop to Five Star, Five Star to Charity, Charity to Oshodi Oke.
“Others include, Arena to Shogunle Bus Stop (both sides), Costain Apongbon Link Bridge to Alaska (both sides), Alaka to Costain (afternoon), Ilueri to Eko Bridge, Alakija to Dantata Amuwo Odofin (both sides), Abule Ado To Dantata Amuwo Odofin Lbe (both sides), Trade Fair To Abule Ado, First Gate to Mile 2 Amuwo Odofin (both sides), Abule Osun to Onireke, Ojo (both sides), among others.
“Motorists have also been urged to drive with caution, to safeguard the lives of sanitation workers on the roads ensuring cleanliness of the city, and also admonished residents to shun littering and all forms of improper waste disposal”.
