The Lagos State Government has directed the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria (AWAM), otherwise known as PSP operators, to resume door-to-door evacuation of waste.

Newsmen report that the government gave the directive during a meeting with the waste managers on Tuesday in Lagos.

The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr Tunji Bello, said in a statement that the PSP operators should go back to their various areas of operation and restore the door-to-door evacuation of waste.

Bello said that the directive was in making good the government’s promise to achieve a cleaner and healthier environment.

He said that Lagos State Government had constituted a committee, headed by him, to thoroughly review the situation and design template for the restoration of the services of PSP operators.

”This move is to reassure you that we are set on a new beginning and it is to consolidate what we have achieved. Everybody must work together to restore the glory of Lagos,” the SSG said.

He said that government had appointed Mr Ola Oresanya, former General Manager of LAWMA, as a consultant to work with the state to fashion out a format for the restoration of door-to-door waste collection.

Bello urged the PSP operators to be ready for work and set aside any misgivings, adding that he was in constant touch with the leadership of AWAM who had assured him of their cooperation.

The Commissioner for Environment, Mr Babatunde Durosinmi-Etti, urged all stakeholders to recognise the urgent need to clear the backlog of waste in the metropolis, while a holistic solution was being worked out simultaneously.

”Being aware that PSP operators were in business to make profit and sustain employment, government therefore enjoins residents to pay for waste collection by the PSP operators,” Durosinmi-Etti said.

The Chairman of AWAM, Mr Oladipo Egbeyemi, expressed appreciation to the government for the development.

Egbeyemi urged for thorough situation review and provision of enabling environment for unhindered performance by members of the association.

Ambode the lilly livered strong head governor had to be bullied before restoring sanity. Visionscape is a failure

Okay

Fear of impeachment. Governor Ambode lost it somewhere.

This is one of the beauties of democracy. I love a situation where the party leaders and members have power on the elected members of their party. Imagine Tinubu and Co have agreed to the emotions of some set of people, how do you think PSP operators and their families would have coped because of bad policies of Ambode? He has been forced to receive sense.
If we have powers to determine the fate of our legislators and other elected politicians like this, the fear of God and the people that voted them would always be the beginning of their wisdom.
Until we as youths shun violence and start demanding for better representation and accountability from these politicians, we won't move far and they will loot the future before we get there.
Stop being sentimental.
Don't allow religion, ethnicity or emotion becloud your sense of reasoning and judgement

Watch how the children of hate and Osu pigs will call Ambode coward for loosing an election while their lord and savior Cownu fled to Israel few months ago and left their brothers and sisters to die in vain.

Talking of mental delusion!

Fear fear Ambode, the fear of impeachment Tinubu is the beginning of wisdom.
Lagos can be cleaner again.

Rubbish all because of elections

My brother my brother

Overdue, though not in Lagos, neither a Lagosian. Good one sha

All dey want from the governor ve been done, dey should leave him alone now so he can defect to another party... am just saying sha

Only in Nigeria.

Ambode is damn too weak. That man has been boxed in different angles.

He's not in the know of his executive powers.

what happened to balarabe musa wud have happened to him. Impeachment. Ambode was a nobody before 2015. He was put der. He shud serve d person wey put am der.

A slap on ambode's face.

Ambo didn't think it through before disengaging them.

Keeping Lagos clean is not by buying new waste trucks for the truck drivers to be using ac in the truck only.

PSP used older trucks but did better jobs. Ambode just turned Lagos to hq of dirt.

Lagos na wa!

Awww....but Too little Too Late.

Ambode really goofed on this...he's probably trying to retrace his steps so he can leave on a good note with a good legacy...but history will forever remember his massive ineptitude in that sector for the first 3years of his tenure.

Revenge is always a dish that tastes better when cold.
