The Lagos State Government has
expressed its commitment for the actualisation of its vision of making Lagos to
be among the cleanest cities in the world.
Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State
disclosed this yesterday at a ceremony to mark the inauguration of Phase 1 of
Visions-Cape Implementation in Lagos.
Visions-Cape is an environmental
utility group which is to take over waste management in the state under a
Public/Private Partnership, PPP, arrangement tagged: the Cleaner Lagos Initiative,
CLI.
He said that waste management in
Lagos had become a big task due to the rising population, hence the need to
introduce new operators with advanced technology to manage all types of wastes.
The governor said that the desire to
improve the sanitation in the state, in line with producing a friendlier
environment for residents, had been a long desire that the inauguration of the
CLI would actualise.
The governor explained that 600
compactors were being sourced from various countries, adding that the state
plans to have about 5,000 within the next five years.
