Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor
of Lagos State whose flagship programme of “greater lagos” has urged
manufacturers operating in the State to use biodegradable or recyclable
materials in the packaging of their products. He said the appeal became
important to enhance waste management in the State. The governor noted that
effective waste management starts from individual household where waste must be
properly bagged and sorted to facilitate recycling. He told them: “You will
recollect that at the inception of our administration, I signed an executive
order with clear instructions to the management of Lagos State Waste Management
Authority to implement strategies that will ensure proper and efficient
evacuation and disposal of waste across the State.” The governor added that his
government has since gone ahead to reactivate the dormant landfill sites as
well as waste water loading stations located at strategic areas in the State.
He enjoined all stakeholders to support strategies and programmes aimed at
ensuring environmental sustainability of the “smart city of Lagos”.
