The Lagos State Government is deepening investment in waste management with deployment of 220 newly acquired compactor trucks to fast-tract evacuation and strengthen operations of Private Sector Participants (PSP).
Obafemi Hamzat, the deputy governor, disclosed this on Saturday during the monthly environmental sanitation exercise in Festac, Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area.
Hamzat, who is also the Lagos State governorship candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming 2027 general election, said the additional trucks would supplement the capacity of the PSP operators and help address growing gaps in household waste collection across the state.
“The state government will be bringing in another 220 trucks to make sure that we supplement our PSP,” he said.
The investment comes as Lagos faces rising waste volumes driven by population growth, rapid urbanisation and increasing commercial activity.
For the state, the expansion of collection capacity is also expected to strengthen the waste-management value
