Concerned bus drivers operating from the Obalende Motor Parks and commuters have cried out over the heap of refuse workers of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority abandoned in the area.
They appealed to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to, as matter of urgency, come to their rescue and find solution to the rising heap of refuse abandoned by Lawma workers since weeks ago.
They said anytime the Lawma workers come to the area with a truck, they would pick little and leave, saying that is why the refuse keeps mounting and polluting the environment.
Some of them who spoke with PM NEWS at the scene stated that they decided to cry out following the offensive odour oozing from the refuse and affecting drivers, commuters, food sellers and other road users.
They appealed to the governor to act before the situation leads to an epidemic.
They want the governor to address the nonchalant attitude on the part of Lawma workers at Obalende.
They further appealed to the Governor not to shy away from replacing Lawma workers who are tired of the work, with some of the teeming jobless youths searching for jobs daily.
According to Mr Sunday Ojo, a driver, “Governor Sanwo-Olu has done extremely well in all areas of human endeavors, spending hugely on the environment but the nonchalant attitude of the Obalende Lawma workers is tarnishing the good image of the state.
“We are appealing to the governor to urgently save us from a looming danger.”
