Governor Sanwo-Olu said the new trucks will complement over 850 PSP compactor trucks to enhance service delivery in under-served communities across the state.
His words:
"This intervention represents one of the largest singular investments ever in the waste management sector in Lagos.
"We are confident that the addition of these new assets to our existing ones will quickly bring about visible improvements in waste evacuation and reduce the incidence of blackspots that blight our roads and clog our drains."
