According to the statement, the School Advocacy Programme (SAP) is expected to deliver waste education and sensitisation to students in primary and secondary schools in Lagos State so as to raise the next generation of solid waste management scholars and entrepreneurs from the LAWMA Academy provision of a variety of individualised and creative learning experience in waste management.

He urged parents and guardians to encourage their children and wards to embrace the culture of recycling, waste sorting at the point of generation and containerization as forming such habits in their tender years would make it difficult for them to abandon it as adults.

Odumboni said the task of keeping Lagos clean remained a collective responsibility, where all stakeholders were expected to play their roles to establish a consistent clean environment.
