ABSTRACT

A major concern to the government of Lagos state is the problem of solid Waste Management within Lagos metropolis. To ameliorate the situation, the government put in place strategies for effective collection, disposal and management of solid waste to improve the living environment of the people. A new initiative was developed statewide after a pilot scheme was undertake in Surulelre, Kosofe and Shomolu Local Government Areas of the state. The pilot scheme bought to fore the need to regulate private sector participation (PSP) in domestic waste collection and disposal. However, in view of this, the project carried out an overview study of Lagos State Waste Management in the state. Authority to reflect its role and significance in waste management in the state. The study also carried out an analysis - of data collected from primary and secondary source. Questionnaire were administered, collected and were analyzed descriptively using inferential statistical tools. On the basis of funding, it was revealed that with adequate funding of waste management outfit, private or public and good service delivery, the residents in the state would be ready to pay for waste collection. Since waste collection anddisposal is one of the constitutional duties of Local Government, the government (Local and State) should fashion out a lasting strategy to ensure a clean environment for all.

 

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1   BACKGROUNG TO THE STUDY

In the sanitation of the environment, disposal of wastes has been identified as being of utmost importance. It is the first problem which must be discussed in any community for the fact that it is basically controlled for enhancement of health of the people in the environment, because the success of any other health measures introduce will depend to a large extent upon the efficiency with which it is solved. The task of maintaining a healthy environment through sanitary disposal of waste has become more difficult in recent times in West Africa and most other developing countries of which Nigeria is one. The reason been that of population explosion, migration of the people from rural to urban areas: the mobility of population as a result of style of life: the increase in outdoor recreation and industrialization. Health planners; therefore, as those charged with the responsibility of providing health to the people: determine what wastes are: identify the various types of wastes and highlight the relationship between wastes and public health, with a view to working out suitable ways of dealing with these wastes.

However, the waste problem has become inter-government in scope and the local governments still retain their constitutional roles, the state and the federal government have assumed the role of the big brother in waste management the role of Local Government in waste management is imposed both by the federal constitution and the local government (Basic and transitional provision). Act 1989. Indeed waste management has been recognized as an integral part of health and environment services of local government for the state government. Most states in the federation haveby enabling edicts established environmental sanitation authorities, in which. we have Lagos sat waste management Authority (LAWMA) in Lagos, Ibadan solid waste management authority Oyo State etc, whose primary institution are disposal and management of solid waste. The need for the agencies has arisen from the expanding complexity of the waste and the inability of the rations local government councils to cope with the problem alone.

It will also try to identify the environmental health problems associated with ineffective waste management and the effects on the people in the communities under Mushin Local Government and Lagos State at large.

1.6    HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF SURULERE LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Surulere Local Government is described as the center of commerce. It is located in the heart of Lagos and has modern amenities like tap water, electricity supply, telephone network, and good road networks it is bounded in the north by Oshodi-Isolo Local Government, in the East by Shomolu Local Government and in the south by mainland Local Government. Formerly, Surulere was part of Ikeja Native Authority in the western Region before it was carved out as a District in 1954 with its boundary extending to the present Shomolu Local Government council, initially Surulere District council started as a one room rented shop on palm Avenue, but it was later moved to Isolo road on the site presently Occupied by the Lagos State waste disposal board and the Nigeria police zone D command.

The council moved to its present administrative secretariat in 1965 when its Isolo road secretariat was razed down during the political riot code named "Wetie". With the army suspension of political activities in 1966 and the creation of Lagos State in 1966, Mushin District council was elevated to a town council Status. The 1976 Local Government edict divided the council into two: Surulere west Local Government which covered Surulere, Agege motor Road, Isolo, Shogunle, Onigbongbo, Ejigbo, Odi-olowo; Maryland, Ilupeju, Cappa and Estate. While Surulere East Local Government covered Bariga, Shomolu, Kosofe and environs. With subsequent persistent agitation from members of the public, the Government later changed the name Mushin East to Shomolu Local Government.

During the civilian administration between 1979 and 1983 Surulere Local Government was divided into four local governments councils, namely, Surulere Itire /Tkate. Oshodi/Isolo and Odi Olowo / Ojuwoye / Onigbogbo. The council Management System of Local Government was however short-lived as the military Administration that came into power in December 1983abolished the proliferated system and maintains the 1976 status quo. Consequently, the three defunct Local governments served as area offices to Surulere Local Government for administration convenience.

The creation of 12 local government in 1989 and, subsequent boundary adjustment saw surulere Local government, losing some of its area of Ikeja and Mainland Local Government. The declaration of August 27 and 29, 1991 by the federal Government saw the creation of 15 Local Government in Lagos State and once again Surulere Local Government lost Oshodi/lsolo thereby leaving only Surulere Ilupeju and Itire areas, with the provisional figures of the 1991 National census putting the Mushin Local Government population at 986,847 people.

I actually googled and saw about iproject master, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it. So there was a delay with the project due to the covid19 pandemic. I was really scared before making the payment cause I’ve been scammed twice, they attended so well to me and that made me trust the process and made the payment and provided them with proof, I got my material in less than 10minutes
Very Good
