In a report by the PUNCH, the Lagos State Government has fired all the contractors who have various contracts with the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA).
This comes after they found widespread fraud in a scheme involving contractors with the Lagos State Waste Management Authority.
These contractors allegedly inflated the wage bills of the street sweepers and supervisors under them.
This was revealed in a statement by LAWMA which reads;
“The Lagos State Waste Management Authority has announced the immediate termination of all street-sweeping briefs awarded to some companies found involved in practices violating their contracts.

The agency also revealed that the recent audit exercise approved by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu exposed the sharp practices of the agents, assuring that services will be repositioned for greater efficiency and value for tax-payers’ money.”
