The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has launched the 'LAWMA Cares and Lagos Youth Initiative' to equip young people with knowledge and skills for responsible waste management and advance Lagos' circular economy vision. The initiative, aimed at deepening youth participation in waste management through knowledge sharing, engagement, advocacy, and collaboration, brought together about 60 youths from various youth organizations.
LAWMA's Managing Director, Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin, emphasized the importance of involving young people in waste management operations, waste-to-energy, circular economy, composting, recycling, and the roles expected of LAWMA and citizens in achieving a cleaner Lagos. The initiative also seeks to create opportunities for young entrepreneurs in emerging green industries and partner with youth and community organizations to promote sustainable waste management practices.
