The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Monday, called on residents of the state to collaborate with the government to ensure a sustainable solution to plastic pollution in the state.
Represented by the Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources, Nurudeen Shodeinde, the governor noted that Lagos generates about 870,000 tonnes of plastic waste annually, constituting about 15 per cent of the total waste generated in the state.
He, however, said his government was making efforts to make the state cleaner by launching the first community recyclable management programme in Ifako-Ijaye in March 2023. In his address, the Permanent Secretary, Office of Environmental Services, Mr Gaji Omobolaji, represented by the Director, Environmental Education, Mrs Monsurat Banire, said, “We advocate multiple-use plastics, encourage and promote recycling through ‘Reduce, Reuse & Recycle’ and ‘Buy-back’ initiatives.”All rights reserved.
