Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has engaged the communities surrounding the Ewu-Elepe Landfill to address concerns and improve collaboration. The meeting, led by LAWMA's Managing Director/CEO Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin, took place on Sunday in Ewu-Elepe, following complaints from residents about the landfill's impact and access roads.
Gbadegesin assured the communities that LAWMA is committed to addressing their concerns, including constructing permanent access roads, providing immediate relief through palliative works, and rehabilitating the landfill once weather permits. LAWMA is also exploring sustainable waste management solutions like waste-to-energy, waste-to-wealth, and organic waste composting.
To ensure effective follow-through, LAWMA has formed a joint Task Force and Technical Committee with representatives from host communities, private sector operators, and other stakeholders to monitor progress and address any infractions.
