Wahab’s Vision: A Cleaner, Greener Lagos for All

By Giwa Moore

Lagos, Nigeria's busy city, has longed been plagued by the notion that it is a "smelling" city. Tokunbo Wahab, the Environment Commissioner has totally changed that narrative. His work to improve waste control is making a big difference.

Lagos is becoming a cleaner place through his efforts and commitments. Wahab's leadership has led to progress on environmental issues. The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) helps manage waste. Recycling centers are also being built. These show the government wants a cleaner Lagos. Waste pickup is better, and drainage fixes help stop floods. Pollution is also being reduced. The Lagos government has a plan to make the city clean. Old landfills are being shut down. Sanitation rules are being enforced. The city is moving toward using waste for energy. Flood control is a focus.

Drainage channels are kept clear before heavy rains. Wahab wants Lagos to be a nice place to live. His ideas, like the "Cleaner Lagos Initiative," help. The "Lagos Greening Programme" encourages people to care for the environment. Public spaces are becoming more beautiful. These projects start a new era. Lagos now cares more about the environment. People's lives are getting better.

Muiz Banire, a Lagos leader, praised Wahab's work. He said Wahab has done great work quickly. He has achieved things that seemed impossible. This shows Wahab's hard work is paying off. Lagos' environment is changing for the better. Tokunbo Wahab's vision is making Lagos cleaner and greener. His work improves the environment and life quality. Wahab invites everyone to see the new Lagos. We celebrate his success and look forward to a better future.
