The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has continued its evacuation efforts across multiple corridors, clearing environmental blackspots in Oregun, Mushin, Ikate, and Ikeja, as the Authority sustains its comprehensive sanitation drive across the State. The operations, which involved multiple trucks and sanitation crews, targeted medians, bus stops, walkways, and roadside locations where refuse had accumulated over time, restoring these public spaces to dignity.
In the Oregun and Ikate axis, extensive cleanup operations were conducted at Oregun median spots along Ikosi Road, Marwa traffic lights, and Ikate, all of which were fully evacuated. Oregun Media spot 3 was also cleared by MO44, while opposite Polaris Bank was restored to cleanliness. These interventions have brought relief to residents and commuters along these busy commercial corridors, where waste accumulation had become a major challenge.
In the Mushin axis, a comprehensive before, during, and after evacuation exercise was conducted at Atewolara on Agege Motor Road, opposite Wey Street bin location junction. The operation ensured that this busy corridor was fully restored to cleanliness, eliminating the environmental hazards that had plagued the area. The exercise reflects LAWMA’s commitment to ensuring that no community is left behind in the pursuit of a cleaner Lagos.
In the Ikeja and Kodesoh axis, MO69 led a comprehensive cleanup of multiple locations, including Kodesoh Street, Airport Bridge walkway, Airport Bridge Ikeja, and Olowu walkway. The Olasuru shopping area and Oluwaloni junction spots one, two, and three towards Cele Ijesha walkway were also cleared. The operations ensured that these busy commercial and institutional corridors were fully restored, bringing relief to residents and commuters along the Ikeja corridor.
The operations reflect LAWMA’s unwavering commitment to environmental cleanliness and public health, as the Authority continues to deploy resources across the State to ensure that no community is left behind in the pursuit of a cleaner Lagos. The Authority reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing environmental laws and ensuring that all residents and businesses comply with sanitation regulations.
