The Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources plans to meet with Private Sector Partnership (PSP) operators to tackle the city’s worsening waste management problems.

Commissioner Tokunbo Wahab said the move aims to strengthen collaboration with local councils on waste, drainage, and environmental enforcement. He noted that some PSP operators have failed to meet collection standards.

“We’ll identify gaps and work with councils at the grassroots to fix them,” Wahab said.

He also warned against illegal land reclamation, stressing that only projects with drainage clearance and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) would be allowed.

Meanwhile, the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) arrested several residents in Akesan, Alimosho, for dumping refuse illegally. They were taken to the Task Force Office in Oshodi for prosecution.
