Less than twenty four hours after residents of Surulere woke up to see their streets and compounds covered in wastes, tremendous result have been recorded by the team of LAWMA’s Sanitation Officers, PSP Operators and Sweepers who have worked round the clock to clear the waste.

Some residents who spoke to Western Post expressed their satisfaction at the speed and commitment with which the workers were carrying out the cleaning exercise.

At first glance one could see the relief on the faces of residents who were returning back to the streets and going about their daily activities unhindered.

The situation on Saturday had left many residents concerned and worried especially at this time where personal hygiene and social distancing are top campaign messages to combat the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic that have claimed several lives across the state.

One resident, Mr. Akintayo (not real name) expressed his satisfaction at the rate cleaning exercise is ongoing. Akintayo commended the immediate response of LAWMA led by the acting Managing Director, Mr. Ibrahim Odumboni, who were first respondents early morning of Sunday.

Akintayo said the attitude of the Sanwo Olu led administration to the welfare of its people only goes to show a government that is attentive to the yearnings of the people.

LAWMA boss, Odumboni, having spent the whole of Sunday monitoring and mobilizing the cleanup exercise, also spent a greater part of Monday on ground in Surulere ensuring that work is on going and all necessary resources were made available.

While this intervention by LAWMA has received commendations from Lagosians, Western Post recalls that in 2017, residents of Surulere woke up to a similar situation and it took about three days before clean-up was done.

Western Post reported that residents of Surulere, particularly those of Akobi Crescent on Sunday woke to see the area covered in wastes following the heavy downpour of Saturday night.

Lagos is a Mega Shitty

I can still see waste and brown roofs everywhere

Shame on the residents there......their dirtiness and foolishness caused the mess

Better

LAWMA DEY TRY SHAA NO CAP


HOW DO PEOPLE FIND IT COMFORTABLE LIVING IN DIRT? IT AMAZES ME

And people lived in thay environment for years... Nawa o!

A very nice and commendable effort. But the truth is, the next rains will force out all the debris and styrofoams still hiding away in their dumps.

The hearts, mind, psyche, and orientation of the people is what really needs a cleaning. A very huge cleaning at that.

Lagos city, the Las Vegas of Nigeria

..

This Can't be Lagos..

Ok

Like for LAGOS, share for (ANAMBRA, ENUGU, IMO)

These LAWMA are really trying.


But LAGOS is too overrated

Nice one.

Nice one when you see a government that want to work you will know was it not last week the news broke out. Inasmuch as that is been done we should endeavor to maintain our surroundings avoid disposing of refuse anyhow.

No we dey mess am up na we still complain pass..

Lagosians too need to be hygiene conscious.lagosians have zero regard for public hygiene when they now see the consequences of their actions they will now be behaving as if the heap of thrash fell from the sky as if it's not a cumulative action of residents in that area.later they'll be criticizing government as if they are not part of the mess.radarada

The dirt was an eyesore.

I cannot live in Lagos.

Too many human beings in one place (mostly crazy people shouting on every corner), no fresh air, traffic congestions and dirt littered around.

Lagos reduces someone's quality of life.

It is a difficult place to live and work and one of the worst places to retire in my opinion.

F

Well done LAWMA

Where did the refuse appear from?

I guess you've not visited Abia state, Aba to be precise
