Lagos State’s Environment and Water Resources Commissioner, Tokunbo Wahab, has cautioned residents against employing the services of unregulated cart pushers for waste disposal. Wahab issued the warning via his official X account on Saturday, emphasizing the detrimental impact of these informal waste collectors on the environment. The primary concern is the indiscriminate dumping of waste which clogs drainage channels, litters roads and medians, and poses significant environmental hazards. This practice contributes to unsanitary conditions and potential public health risks. The Commissioner’s statement aims to promote responsible waste management practices among Lagos residents. By discouraging the use of unregulated services, authorities hope to encourage adherence to established waste disposal systems and protect the environment.
