LAWMA To Convert Popular Ojota Dump Site To Golf Course

Have you ever passed by Ojota going towards
Maryland in Lagos? Then you would have
noticed the Olusosun dumpsite that stinks to the
high heavens. The news is that Lagos State
Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) said
yesterday that it would soon turn the Olusosun
dumpsite in Ojota into a golf course.
Tagged as
Nigeria’s most popular refuse dump, Olusosun
has been a subject of foreign documentaries in
the past because of the many activities of
scavengers at the site.
The managing director of LAWMA, Mr Ola
Oresanya, said the golf course project would
come under the agency’s second 10-year-rolling
plan.
“In the rolling plan, we are focusing
downstream and our downstream is at the
disposal sites. Our landfills development is
a real focus, we already sign contract for
development of our state of the heart
landfills sites at Epe and Badagry. And
those landfill sites are the real focus for the
next rolling plan and a site also will be
located in Ogun state. That is around
Mowe/Ibafo area that we took over. Then
we will close down the Olusosun dumpsite
completely and turn it into golf course. We
will continue to build transfer stations and
material recovery plants in Lagos”.
