The Lagos State House of Assembly has ordered the Private Sector Partnership (PSP) operators back to work after disowning Visionscape Sanitation Solutions which was contracted by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to carry out waste disposal in the state.

The Assembly also 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 directive followed a matter of public importance raised by Honourable Gbolahan Yishawu on the disturbing heaps of refuse spread all over Lagos metropolis.

Speaker of the house, Mudashiru Obasa,who gave the directive during Thursday’s plenary also called on individuals stopping people from dumping refuse at dumpsites to desist henceforth.

He said: “We insist that we don’t know anything about Visionscape because we were not consulted before they started work.”

The House also ordered the Commissioner for Environment, Babatunde Durosinmi-Etti, to appear before them next week to clarify some issues relating to the matter.
