PSP hails Lagos Assembly on "dirty Lagos" resolution

Private Sector Partnership (PSP) operators have hailed the decision made by the Lagos State House Assembly to call them back to work.

Following a matter of utmost importance raised by Honourable Gbolahan Yishawu, the Assembly ordered the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the state to call on the PSP to go back to refuse collection and disposal with immediate effect.

The speaker, Mudashiru Obasa also disowned the waste management company, Visionscape, introduced by GovernorAkinwunmi Ambode.

In his words, the House should have approved the refuse disposal policy of the state government before Visionscape started operation.
