Lagos State Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat announced that the state would deploy an additional 220 trucks for waste evacuation, as reported by journalists during a monthly environmental sanitation exercise in Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area on Saturday. This comes two months after Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced the delivery of 150 compactor trucks for waste management.
Hamzat emphasized that these new trucks would supplement the existing Private Sector Participation waste collection system, urging residents to patronize PSP and not cart pushers. He explained that the growing population had led to an increase in waste generation, making residents' cooperation essential for effective waste management.
Residents are encouraged to organize regular environmental sanitation exercises, aiming to clean their surroundings at least once a month. The state government is committed to ensuring a sustainable and healthy environment for all residents.
