Nigerian comedian, Otaghware Onodjayeke, popularly known as
“I Go Save” has called on the Lagos State government over claims that LAWMA
increased monthly waste collection fee from N15,000 to N25,000 per month.
The comedian, who made the call in a video via his Instagram
account, said that those in his neighborhood received a message from LAWMA via
WhatsApp chat informing them of a 10,000 Naira increase in the monthly fee for
disposing waste.
He wondered why waste disposition should be 25,000 Naira per
month when the minimum wage is 30,000 Naira.
The comedian also pointed out that such changes should be
announced via LAWMA’s official platform and the account number given should
have been an official one.
According to him, the message was rather sent to them via
WhatsApp and they were equally given a private account to make the payment to.
“How trash collect be more expensive than food?
“How much is minimum wage that LAWMA decided to increase
trash collect fees.
“So if a person earning 30 a month pays 25k for trash what
will the person now use to feed?
“I even had to call my friend and colleague Buchi, who is a
LAWMA ambassador but LAWMA won’t even listen to their ambassador.
“This is so sad because during the days of Governor Ambode
waste collection was free and now it’s Sanwo-Olu’s regime everything is just
going high.
“I would advise that Governor Sanwo-Olu calls these people
to order because at the end it’s his name and tenure that’s been tarnished. He
should better act now and ensure that they fish out those trying to dupe
innocent citizens,” he said.
