The Lagos State Government, through the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Lafarge Africa PLC to use non-recyclable combustible waste as an alternative fuel.
Under the partnership, Lafarge Africa will collect and treat non-recyclable waste from companies and dumpsites across the state, sending it to Lafarge’s Ewekoro Plant for processing and use as fuel.
Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, who signed on behalf of the state government, described the partnership as a critical step in tackling the waste crisis.
He disclosed that Lagos generates between 13,000 and 15,000 tonnes of waste daily, stressing the state government’s commitment to waste conversion as a sustainable solution.
