Environmentalists oppose Lagos waste-to-energy plant

Recall that the Lagos State Government recently hinted at plans to build waste-to-energy plants in Olusosun, Epe, and Badagry dumpsites in the state.

The state’s Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, revealed this at the waste-to-energy summit, themed “Driving environmental sustainability,” held in Lagos recently.

Okotie stated that the move would affect the health and environment of those communities.

“Without protecting the country through the community, we might not be able to enjoy the natural resources the country is blessed with,” Okotie said.

He urged all concerned citizens, environmental organisations, and stakeholders to join in the fight for a cleaner and healthier Lagos.
