The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has conducted extensive cleanup operations across multiple corridors, clearing environmental blackspots in Ikeja, Ketu, Ikorodu, and Epe, as the Authority continues its sustained sanitation drive across the State. The operations, which involved multiple trucks and sanitation crews, targeted medians, bus stops, bridges, and roadside locations where refuse had accumulated over time, restoring these public spaces to dignity.
In the Ikeja axis, Truck M69 led a comprehensive cleanup of multiple locations, including Medical Road spot one, Olowo Street junction, Kodesoh wall bridge spot, Airport bridge, Kodesoh median spots one and two, Ipodo Central Mosque spot, Airport bridge walkway spots one and two, and Awolowo Way median spots one through four. The operations ensured that these busy commercial and institutional corridors were fully restored to cleanliness.
In the Ketu and Ikorodu corridor, extensive evacuation operations were conducted across multiple locations. Before and after evacuation exercises were carried out at Ojota bus stop, BRT terminal bus stop Ketu, opposite Guwa Police Station Ketu, opposite Taj Bank Ketu spots one and two, opposite Slot Ketu spots one, two, and three, opposite Ojaoba Market Ketu spot one, and opposite Tipper Garage spots one and two. The Blue BRT Terminal and GLO BRT Terminal in Ikorodu Garage were also cleared, ensuring that these busy transport hubs were fully restored.
In the Epe axis, ongoing evacuation operations were conducted on Alausa Road median, while pockets of refuse at Epe Central Mosque were cleared. Bags of refuse at Mayfair Garden Estate along the Lekki-Epe Expressway were also evacuated, and work continued on the Awoyaya median in Ibeju Lekki. The Ikorodu Garage media opposite Total Energies filling station on Epe Marina Road was also cleared, bringing relief to residents and commuters along that busy 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. Residents are encouraged to support these efforts by patronising approved PSP operators and avoiding indiscriminate waste disposal, as environmental cleanliness remains a shared responsibility that requires the cooperation of all stakeholders.
