Lagos Waste Crisis and Emergency Response | Nigeria News

Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu declared a state of emergency as waste piles up across the city, prompting him to personally inspect the Olusosun dumpsite and rally private operators for action. Fires and underperforming collectors have slowed cleanup, but new compacts, road repairs, and 160 new compactors are speeding things up. Long-term plans include building transfer stations and recovery facilities by early next year, while illegal dumping will be met with prosecution. The governor also aims to overhaul the waste authority for smoother operations. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
