Lagos Cracks Down on Illegal Dumping | Nigeria News

Lagos is sending a clear message: illegal dumping won’t be tolerated. LAWMA just fired street sweepers, their bosses, and their company after catching them dumping trash on the roadside median near Oworonshoki and Berger — a long-standing hotspot. Surveillance confirmed the crew’s admissions, and LAWMA’s CEO, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, declared this move a firm stance against environmental negligence. Two more suspects — one using a wheelbarrow, another an unauthorized cart pusher — were also arrested. Dr. Gbadegesin stressed that everyone, including waste workers, must follow approved disposal rules and only partner with licensed operators. Enforcement will ramp up in key zones, and residents are urged to report violations — because keeping Lagos clean requires accountability from all of us.
