Lagos warns against dumping of refuse in waterways



The Lagos State Government has issued a warning to residents dumping refuse indiscriminately on the streets and dredgers sand-filling wetlands to desist from such unwholesome practices or face the wrath of the law.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Babatunde Adejare, who stated this on Friday in Lagos while fielding questions on a television programme said the PSP operators could not cope with the quantum of waste generated in the state, estimated to be 13,000 metric tonnes per day, thus the system had to be replaced.
He said the PSP operators erroneously believed that they were being put out of business but assured them that they were still an integral part of the loop as attested to by the on-going re-certification exercise of the operators.
He disclosed that the Lagos State government was tackling the waste problems in the state in a comprehensive manner with the assistance of about 12 consortiums, including Visionscape, a globally-acclaimed  environmental utility group, that would confront the issues with technology, better funding and germane solutions under the Cleaner Lagos Initiative, which will become fully operational in September.
