In it's effort to make Lagos State cleaner, the Lagos State Waste Management Agency (LAWMA) under the leadership of Mr. Babtunde Fashola has vigorously stepped up the implementation of it's original masterplan.
The goal of this masterplan is not only to clean up Lagos, but to collect, manage and recycle it's mountains of refuse and put it to profitable use like the production of electricity.
In line with these objectives, LAWMA, in collaboration with Community Conservation and Development Initiatives (CCDI), recently partnered Yaba Local Government Area to help generate wealth from the waste generated in that axis.
Speaking during a sensitisation seminar held in Lagos recently, LAWMA Manager, Recycling, Mrs. Tolu Adeyo, said the waste bank mounted at the Yaba LG Secretariat was meant for members to deposit waste materials, which, if processed, could help generate wealth for them.
Mrs Adeyo further revealed that the initiative would also be extended to other LGs as well, and with adequate awareness will strive to reach out to the grassroots because this LAWMA initiative would help create job opportunities for them.
