Have you ever passed by Ojota going
towards Maryland in Lagos? Then
you would have noticed the
Olusosun dumpsite that stinks to the
high heavens.
The news is that Lagos State Waste
Management Authority (LAWMA)
said yesterday that it would soon
turn the Olusosun dumpsite in Ojota
into a golf course.
Tagged as Nigeria’s most popular
refuse dump, Olusosun has been a
subject of foreign documentaries in
the past because of the many
activities of scavengers at the site.
The managing director of LAWMA,
Mr Ola Oresanya, said the golf
course project would come under
the agency’s second 10-year-rolling
plan.
“In the rolling plan, we are focusing
downstream and our downstream is
at the disposal sites.
Our landfills development is a real
focus, we already sign contract for
development of our state of the
heart landfills sites at Epe and
Badagry.
And those landfill sites are the real
focus for the next rolling plan and a
site also will be located in Ogun
state.
That is around Mowe/Ibafo area that
we took over.
Then we will close down the
Olusosun dumpsite completely and
turn it into golf course. We will
continue to build transfer stations
and material recovery plants in
Lagos”.
“Those are parts of the ten year
rolling plan and we will increase our
waste conversion to almost 70 per
cent to 80 per cent of the wastes we
generate in Lagos.
The wastes will now be converted to
something very useful within that
ten years rolling plan.
Then, we want to make sure that we
get the economics of waste
management very well and the
economics must be perfect within
the next ten year.
