Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has initiated an intervention to address the accumulation of waste along the Ayobo-Ipaja axis, specifically in the Megida area. Managing Director/CEO Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin explained that the authority has deployed its teams to clear the affected medians and that enforcement personnel are also present to tackle infractions causing the waste buildup.
The problem, according to Director of Public Affairs Mukaila Sanusi, is fuelled by illegal trading activities such as markets operating on road medians and residents not using the designated waste collection channels. LAWMA has also seized two tricycles for illegally transporting waste to the medians. Residents and traders in the area are urged to support the waste management system by using the assigned PSP operators and avoiding dumping waste in unauthorized locations.
LAWMA warns against interfering with its lawful operations and stresses that environmental enforcement is a statutory responsibility that must be respected by all.
