PSP operators have also been mandated to ensure prompt evacuation of waste generated by tenements, during and after the festive period”, Odumboni said.

While wishing Lagosians a clean Easter celebration, the LAWMA boss urged
residents to bag their waste, patronise assigned PSP operators, and
promptly pay their waste management bills.
