Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), has commenced an intensive clean-up exercise, to clear road medians and setbacks of waste, starting from Otedola Bridge through Berger Bridge, along Lagos/Ibadan expressway, to other locations in the state.
The exercise is part of LAWMA’s efforts to keep the State clean and free of waste, and also to encourage residents to shun indiscriminate waste dumping, while urging them to support the initiative by disposing their waste properly in authorized places.
The exercise, which is expected to last several days, may slightly affect traffic in the areas, hence, LAWMA’s advice to motorists, to be patient and to cooperate with officials on ground.
