No be small matter oo! Lagos State Waste Management Authority, wey dem sabi as LAWMA, don report say dem don prosecute 400 cases for environmental wahala for 2025 alone. Naija no go believe say one man wey dey dump rubbish anyhow don enter jail. Wetin this one mean for all of us wey sabi collect waste anyhow? My pipo, time don reach make we change our ways before dem go carry una go join this guy for inside jail.
For one big interview wey Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, the Managing Director of LAWMA, talk for Sunrise Daily programme, e yan say naija people gatz sabi the importance of proper waste disposal. Wetin concern us? If we no fit manage our waste well, na im be say we go dey chop all these environmental wahala wey dey plague our city. Gbadegesin talk say dem don dey waste management work dey go smoothly but na wahala from dumping wey no dey end dey slow dem down.
So, how una wan take help? Gbadegesin don stress the need to separate our waste at source, so that we fit recycle better. Make we no see waste as just trash again; e suppose be like gold wey fit give us money. Na so dem go create more jobs, attract private sector involvement, and protect our environment too. Na serious matter o!
Dem don also talk about circular economy wey dem wan set up, where we go dey recover and reuse materials instead of just dumping dem. E go reduce environmental impact as well. LAWMA wan make sure say all dey work together; citizens gatz support dem by reporting anyone wey dey dump waste anyhow. Na when we join body, we go fit keep Lagos clean and better.
LAWMA na government body wey dey handle waste and sanitation matter for Lagos. Dem dey fight the battle against the wahala wey come with urbanisation and population growth. With all these updates wey LAWMA don give us, e clear say the onus don dey on us to make sure sey our environment dey clean. This na time for us to wake up and realize say no be only government work alone; we all get our part to play.
