Lagos Residents To Pay More For Waste Management — LAWMA(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) says the authority is proposing a 50 per cent increase in waste bill across board for Lagos residents. Mr Ibrahim Odumboni, the Managing Director of LAWMA, made this known during a news conference on Wednesday in Lagos. Odumboni said that the price increase was due to the high cost of operation by the Private Sector Participants (PSP) operators. He said the centres were expected to boost the Lagos recycling initiative, which apart from its economic benefits, would mitigate the challenge of plastic pollution. He thanked the governor for the subsidy offered to PSP operators, adding that service charges needed to be reviewed to reflect current economic realities.
