We are deepning our partnership with the Lagos State Ministry of Environment on sustainable waste management particularly on the diversion of non-recyclable waste to our Ewekoro facility for co-processing.
Following a recent visit of the Permanent Secretary to the Lagos state MOE, Dr. Gaji Omobolaji Tajudeen to our Ewekoro processing plant, and a press conference with the Honorable Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, we extended support to the Ministry during the statewide environmental sanitation exercise held on Saturday, 25 April 2026 by providing additional trucks, for timely evacuation of waste which was critical to prevent accumulation and re-dispersion onto the streets.
All waste collected during the exercise was transported to Lafarge’s Olusosun platform for sorting, after which the non-recyclable fractions will be conveyed to Ewekoro plant for environmentally responsible co-processing.
During the exercise, the Chairman of Lagos Island East Local Government, Hon. Muibi Folawiyo, who also conducted monitoring rounds, expressed appreciation to Lafarge for its timely and impactful support.
This intervention underscores our commitment to environmental sustainability and a progressive public-private partnership.
