Four-month-old refuse heaps persist in Lagos despite LAWMA promise

Lagos residents have been suffering for four months due to refuse heaps persisting on road medians, despite the Lagos State Waste Management Authority's (LAWMA) promise to address the issue. In Ejigbo and Idimu, heaps of waste have accumulated on the median linking the two areas, remaining unattended despite multiple complaints.

Our correspondent observed the heaps on Sunday, noting their presence for the fourth month since being dumped in May. Both Private Sector Participation operators and LAWMA officials failed to clear the waste, causing a significant eyesore for motorists, commuters, and other residents. The situation has been ongoing for over six months, with the Lagos State government also intervening without resolving the persistent problem.
