…..As Solus, Olusosun dumpsites resume operations …PSPs to deploy over 700 trucks By Olasunkanmi Akoni The Lagos State Government has warned Private Sector Participation (PSP) waste operators to deliver immediate results or face enforcement measures, following the reopening of the Solus and Olusosun dumpsites after months of closure.
The government said it had fulfilled its responsibility by rehabilitating the facilities and their access roads, leaving waste operators with no further excuses for the persistent refuse crisis across the state.
Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, gave the warning on Wednesday during an inspection of the previously closed Solus dumpsite in Alimosho Local Government Area. Wahab said the government expected PSP operators to improve waste collection and evacuation across their areas of operation, stressing that residents deserved value for the services they paid for. “Too much is given, so much more is expected. There are no more excuses,” the commissioner said, recounting his message to the leadership of the PSP operators.
