The Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria (AWAMN) has pledged its commitment toward replacing its rickety waste disposal trucks with stronger ones in order to upgrade the standard of waste management in Lagos State and the country at large.

The National President of AWAMN, David Oriyomi made this known during a Gala and Award Night, organised by the association in Lagos.

Mr Oriyomi said the association was already discussing with some banks to assist in equipment financing, toward replacing the trucks.“You can tie that to a clean environment.“My desire is to make sure that we have a clean environment, and that the business grows, to ensure the peace and professional growth of members,” he said.

He said that to fulfill its manifesto, the executive committee of the association would work hard to ensure that waste collectors “are properly kitted, and the trucks branded”.“Within this short time that we have been in office – three months – we have begun discussing with some banks to assist us in equipment financing so we can replace those rickety trucks with stronger ones.“I am happy that they are responding, and things are going on well,” Mr Oriyomi said.

The Publicity Secretary of AWAMN, Adebola Olugbenga, stated that political will is key to a sustainable partnership for effective and efficient integrated waste management system in low- and middle-income countries.
