Commenting on the enforcement, the Chief Operating Officer of LAWMA, Mr. Ibrahim Odumboni, said the action was necessitated by the need to comply with the Governor’s directive that all necessary steps be taken to curb the spread of Coronavirus and other dangerous diseases in the State.
He noted that the prevailing situation requires that no opportunity should be created for the disease to spread further through any outlet.
“This action is a precautionary measure to prevent any possible hazard. We know that there are a couple of scavengers on the landfills and the nature of their work pre-disposes them to danger. We do not want a situation where a problem breaks out and begins to go round the city. It is a pro-active step to prevent any untoward development”, Gbadegesin said.
He noted further that LAWMA would continue to work round the clock to ensure clean homes and environment, which are highly essential to curbing the further spread of COVID-19 and other dangerous diseases.
“Our PSP operators will be operating throughout the sit-at-home period, to ensure that waste is promptly evacuated and properly disposed. I urge everyone to properly sort their waste and containerise it for easy evacuation and disposal by assigned PSP operators”, he added.
