Earlier in his remarks during the visit, host and the Executive Chairman, LAWMA, Mr. Olumuyiwa Adejokun, said effective waste management in a city was important.
While explaining that the business of waste management was capital intensive, which made it necessary for the government to engage private investors, the General Manager, LAWMA, Mr. Segun Adeniji, said the daily increase in Lagos population had a direct effect on the volume of waste being generated and that the state was working to reform the sector.
