….Extends Partnership Offer at Reasonable Rates to Other States
The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has started fabricating waste bins for Ekiti State in a partnership aimed at addressing a variety of trash management and environmental issues.
Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, the Managing Director and CEO of LAWMA, made this announcement in his office on Tuesday, while adding that Lagos State was prepared to assist and collaborate with other states in all waste management-related areas and that LAWMA was committed to ensuring appropriate waste management practices, both inside and outside the state.
He said, “I am happy to announce the partnership between LAWMA and Ekiti State Government, which will see us fabricate their waste bins at a reasonable cost. By fabricating waste bins in-house, we gain greater control over quality, production speed, and ultimately, cost-effectiveness”.
“This allows us to not only ensure a steady supply of bins for Lagos, but also help us to extend our support to other states like Ekiti, which is currently a prime beneficiary of this initiative. LAWMA has assisted some other States before now and we are willing to do more”.
Gbadegesin averred that the partnership with Ekiti State shows LAWMA’s proactive approach to environmental issues, adding that the Ekiti project would serve as a pilot programme, paving the way for similar partnerships with other states.
“We believe that effective waste management is not just a Lagos issue but a national concern. LAWMA’s door is open to any state seeking our assistance. We are offering our expertise to provide technical support, training, and even manpower to help other states develop and implement efficient waste management systems,” he said.
According to the head of LAWMA, the Engineering Department of the Authority, which is renowned for its inventiveness and resourcefulness, has created a strong and effective process for fabricating waste bins, adding that the department uses materials that are sourced locally to create long-lasting bins that can be used for a variety of waste management purposes.
“LAWMA’s in-house bin fabrication initiative offers several advantages beyond cost-effectiveness and quality control. It fosters skill development and job creation within the agency, promotes local content utilisation, and reduces reliance on imports. Hence, other states who are interested can get the bins at affordable rates”, he stated.
