Waste managment:

The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) was established in 1977. The then two Local Government Councils, namely Lagos Island and Lagos Mainland, could not cope with the volume of waste resulting from the oil-boom stimulated economy and its attendant influence on migrants into the new capital city from the rural and less developed areas of Nigeria and neighboring West African countries.
The disposal of solid wastes to land is the ultimate end-point for any waste management system.However, waste landfills should be set up and operated properly in order to minimize the risks posed to health and the environment. This review provides an insight into landfill operations and management in Lagos, Nigeria. Results show that landfills within Lagos are uncontrolled and do not conform to international standards of similar operations elsewhere in the world.
This results in an increase of insects and rodents which allows blowing of litter that causes bad odor and general environmental degradation. These negative impact scan only be minimized by pragmatic design and proper management of landfills within urban and peri-urban areas.
