Officials of the Cleaner Lagos Initiative (CLI)
have raised the alarm over attempts by those
they referred to as saboteurs to frustrate the
state’s new waste management policy.
They said the saboteurs were determined to kill
all efforts to make Lagos cleaner and healthier.
A senior CLI, who preferred anonymity said it
was unfortunate that those who felt the new
arrangement would affect them adversely were
working hard to sabotage it by all means,
including deliberate dumping of large volume of
waste in public places.
The official said: “Take for instance, the picture
of heaps of refuse under the Idumagbo
Pedestrian Bridge that was published today
(yesterday) in a national daily. The refuse at
that spot was evacuated just overnight and the
team finished by 3am today (Sunday) and by
3am, the heap of refuse was back there,
including a fully loaded LAWMA big refuse
container that was not there previously.
“As I am talking to you, our officials have
returned to the same spot to clear everything.
The Commissioner for the Environment was also
there to see things for himself and he has asked
the Private Sector Participant (PSP) operator that
dropped the container belonging to the Lagos
State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA)
on the spot to remove it immediately.
“That has been the challenge. When our officials
clear the heaps of refuse from a spot, before
one could say Jack Robinson, the heaps were
back on the same spot cleared by our officials
and this really has to stop because a cleaner
Lagos is in our collective interest,” he said.
The new policy encapsulated in the Cleaner
Lagos Initiative (CLI) was introduced to address
the challenges in the sector, and as well
revolutionise waste management in the state in
line with international best practices.
A source said the permutation of those behind
the sabotage was that if they kept dumping
tonnes of refuse in public places, they would
achieve the twin objective of distracting CLI
officials from paying adequate attention to other
places while projecting the initiative, which is
targeted at a comprehensive turnaround of
Lagos to become one of the cleanest cities in
the world, as a failure.
Another reliable source said the situation had
also been compounded by members of the
public who indiscriminately dump their waste in
public places and not the designated spots,
saying that such was also a challenge.
Also, in a recent video that went viral on social
media, an official of Visionscape Sanitation
Solutions, Mr John Olawale Joseph, had
lamented how people were dumping refuse on
the same spots in public places, thus frustrating
the efforts to rid the state of filth.
Joseph, who is Visionscape’s Area Manager for
Lagos Island West, alleged that heaps of refuse
sometimes appear overnight in places already
cleared by environmental officials, saying that
the deliberate sabotage of the project called for
concern.
