LAGOS REPORTERS

News Updates: Cleaner Lagos finalized a deal with PSP

Following the previous fallout between PSP operators and the Lagos state government over the reshuffling of residential waste collection responsibilities under the Cleaner Lagos Initiative, a progressive consensus has now been reached between both parties.
This new development contains an agreement which will see the PSP operators, now referred to as Waste Collection Operators under the scheme, return to their former role as residential waste collectors, while new entrant, Visionscape Sanitation oversees vital waste management infrastructural reforms in the state.
The agreement was announced today after the state government extended the proverbial olive branch to the aggrieved operators in a bid to resolve the long drawn out issues, and prompt the WCOs to return to regular waste collection operations in the state.
Oladipo Egbeyemi, Chairman of the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria, AWAM, expressed his gratitude to the state government for their unrelenting support and dedication in the face of the challenges faced by the PSP operators.
Egbeyemi further reassured Lagos state residents of an uplift in the city’s waste management system with the official resumption of door-to-door residential waste collection by the PSPs.
The Cleaner Lagos Initiative remains committed to working with all parties to achieve and maintain a clean environment for all.
