2.1 Implementation of Programmes for the
Lagos State Ministry and Need for Synergising
• In order to achieve the mandate and goals above and ensure
environmental sustainability, projects and programmes have
to be initiated, designed, developed and implemented directly
by either the Ministry or through her Agencies/Parastatals
• The various programmes and activities of the main Ministry
and its parastatals and Agencies to be SYNERGISED
4.0 ISSUES AND NEED TO SYNERGISE ACTIVITIES
• 4.1 ISSUE 1:
MULTIPLE POLICIES AND INSTITUTIONS AND LEGAL
FRAMEWORK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN
LAGOS STATE
• Over the past three decades, Lagos State like many others has
put in place a wide range of new environmental laws and
regulations.
• One unfortunate result of the commitment to strengthen
environmental protection measures has been a significant
fragmentation and duplication of authority and
responsibilities.
Cont’d
• While providing new prominence and focus for environmental issues,
these agencies and units still face overwhelming tasks and
responsibilities. They have to compete for staff and budgets with the
older and often more powerful sectoral agencies, whose activities often
have more impact on the state of the environment and natural resources
than those of the environmental agencies themselves.
NEED FOR HARMONISATION
• While this situation ensures the avoidance of any lacunas in the
environmental legislations in the State, however, the fragmented
nature and pattern in which these rules and laws occur have also
made administration and enforcement diffuse. Some enforcement
actions are NOT backed by any existing Law.
Cont’d
SYNERGISING ACTIONS NEEDED
• A HARMONISED LEGAL INSTRUMENT FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND ENFORCEMENT
TO SYNERGISE ACTIVITIES AND COVER ALL AGENCIES IS
URGENTLY NEEDED.
ISSUE 2:
• HARMONISING ACTIVITIES OF AGENCIES/INSTITUTIONS
RESPONSIBLE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN
LAGOS STATE
Cont’d
• Lagos State has established a myriad of Agencies and
Institutions for various aspects of environmental management
and to tackle of virtually all the known or established
environmental problems in the State. Some issues are even
tackled by more than one Agency or Unit. For examples see
below a summary of the environmental issues and the
Agencies responsible:
SANITATION
• The key programme under sanitation is solid waste management
and this is centralised under Lagos State Waste Management
Authority (LAWMA).
• However, the LASWAMO too has a big role
• The Agencies through the Managing Director and their Heads drive
and implement the models and policies formulated by the Ministry.
• The integrated waste management programme, has the following
components- storage, collection transportation and disposal.
• The culture of bagging and containerisation has not being fully
imbibed by the citizens but steady progress is being made in this
regard.
Cont’d
• Collection and transportation has been privatised with the
integration of PSP Operators whose number is 320 with 497 trucks
across the State.
• The public waste is being managed by LAWMA with 150 trucks.
• We have also perfected street sweeping and has 9,700Nos
sweepers and 945 Highway Sanitation Operators who address
vegetal nuisances on the highways and presidential routes.
• Curbing the incidences of indiscriminate defecation and urination in
public open spaces and infrastructures across the State and
improve on personal hygiene through the Construction of 37 Model
public toilets across the State and 74 Toilets within Public Schools.
Management of Waste
• Waste storage and disposal through 5 Nos Dumpsites, 2 Nos
Transfer loading Stations and 25 PSP Operators engaged to
manage medical wastes in 2500 Health Institutions across the
State.
• Functional Waste to Wealth facility where wastes are being
converted to Compost at Odogunyan in Ikorodu,
• Recycling of wastes and conversion to refuse bag is going on
by PSP at Olusosun while the Nylon bag recovery plant at
Igando needs to be stepped up.
• Finalizing the process of setting up other recycling plants for
resource recovery at Igando in Alimosho local Government
Area.
SYNERGISING ACTIONS NEEDED
a) EXTANT SUPERVISION OF LAWMA
The integrated waste management programme, has the
following components- storage, collection transportation and

being fully imbibed by the citizens but steady progress is
being made.

servicing/payment of bridging fees
• Improved Practices in Collection and Transportation of Waste
• Job Creation in Waste Management including:
• Street Sweeping

across the State
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
(wole- wole)
• Environmental Health Officers are statutory Officers charged
with the responsibilities of premises and tenements
inspection for the detection and abatement of nuisances.
• Presently about 85 No Environmental Health Officers
distributed amongst office of Environmental Services, Office
of Drainage Services, LAWMA, LASEPA, Waste Water
Management Office, Ministry of Health and Hospitals in the
State while 600 other health officers are distributed amongst
57 Local Government LCDAs in the State.
• Between 1500 to 2000 premises inspected annually while No
of abatement notices served/enforced range from 3000- 5000
annually
SYNERGISING ACTIONS NEEDED

Health Officers more to enforce compliance including court
prosecution.
WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT
• Lagos State Government has designed a 5-year Sustainable
Sewage Management plan and established the Lagos State
Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO).

Lagos State Government established Lagos State Wastewater
Management Office in August 2010.
• The Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) is
statutorily responsible for the implementation of the 5- Year
Sustainable Sewage and Sanitation Infrastructural Strategy.

ODS MONITORING, ENFORCEMENT AND
COMPLIANCE, (MEC) ACTIVITIES
• A major impediment to efficient run-off of storm water is the
encroachment of water path and in some cases complete
compromise of the drainage channel.
• To redress this ugly situation, the Monitoring, Enforcement
and Compliance Department of the Office of Drainage
Services is saddled with the responsibility of identifying and
addressing cases of abuse and encroachment of drainage
alignments/Right of Way (ROW) and ensuring that sanitation
laws are complied with.
9.0 LAND RECLAMATION ACTIVITIES
