The Lagos State Government on Sunday said it was set to close Olusosun and Solus landfills within the next 18 months as part of measures to maintain a clean city.
The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, who disclosed this, also countered the claim that Lagos smells, as recently posited by a corps member.
The government said it would close the landfills to transition them into modern Transfer Loading Stations where waste would be sorted, compacted and redirected to recycling facilities.
