The educational arm of the Lagos Waste Management Authority, LAWMA Academy, has sensitised over 4,258 pupils of various public schools across the state since its school enlightenment/advocacy programme began last month.
This was disclosed by LAWMA’s Managing Director/CEO of LAWMA,
Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, following the visitation of the school advocacy team to
schools at Eti-Osa.
Represented by the director of LAWMA Academy, Training and Development, Mrs. Bola Adewunmi, the LAWMA boss noted that the initiative aimed to impart waste management education in children for environmental sustainability.
He said further that the agency had utilised interactive
sessions, educational materials, and engaging activities to educate pupils on
waste segregation, recycling, composting, and the importance of keeping their
environment clean.
He said, “Equipping young minds with the knowledge and skills
to champion environmental sustainability is crucial. Through LAWMA Academy, we are
engaging future generations to actively participate in responsible waste
management, fostering positive change within their communities.”
“Incorporating environmental education into school curricula
is vital. LAWMA Academy’s program provides valuable resources and fosters a
sense of responsibility among students, making them active contributors to a
cleaner and healthier Lagos”, he stressed.
The LAWMA Academy is an initiative of the Lagos Waste
Management Authority (LAWMA) dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and
