Chairman of Epe Local Government, Hon. Princess Surah Olayemi Animashaun, has promised to work with the Lagos Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, by mobilising residents to pay their waste bills and properly dispose their waste.
She said this at the Council Secretariat, Ita Marun, Epe, when the Managing Director/CEO, Mr. Ibrahim Odumboni, took LAWMA’s community clean-up campaign to the Local Government over the weekend.
Princess Animashaun commended the efforts of the agency and admonished residents to reciprocate LAWMA’s gesture by putting up an environment-friendly habit.

In the same vein, the LAWMA boss promised to turn around waste management in the Epe Campus of the Lagos State University, as he solicited their collaboration to develop LAWMA Academy.
