The Lagos State Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a Ghana Waste Management company, JONSPONG Group of Companies, on treatments of solid and liquid wastes in the state and to establish a Material Recovery Facility to reduce downstream pressure (waste disposal volume) at landfills.
This was revealed by Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, the Honourable Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources on his X page.
He further stated that the MOU will also involve putting in place Compact /Mobile Transfer loading stations to replace current stationary plants and reduce waste at pressure points such as markets.
Wahab said, “As we gather to sign this Memorandum of Understanding between the Lagos State Government and the Jospong Group of Ghana, we are not just signing a document, we are inaugurating a partnership that embodies our shared vision for a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable Lagos.”
