The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) on Monday destroyed over 400 carts confiscated from pushers, who serially dump waste

[FILES] Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. PHOTO: FACEBOOK/ BABAJIDE SANWO-OLUThe Managing Director/CEO, LAWMA, Mr Ibrahim Odumboni, told newsmen that the indiscriminate dumping of waste by the cart pushers was a clear violation of the environmental laws of the state.

According to him, the exercise will decimate the cart population defacing the cityscape, adding that the activities of cart pushers across the Lagos Metropolis remained banned. The LAWMA boss said that one of such cart pushers was tried and jailed last week, having been apprehended at Victoria Island, vandalising and stealing the government’s iron rods.

Odumboni said that the government was not interested in taking away their means of livelihood, which, however, had to be within the confines of the law.
