Making this known at a meeting of the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria (AWAMN) in Lagos, counsel to the association, Mr. David Fadile, said in response to a letter of complaint by the association about the huge outstanding waste bills not paid by customers to the operators and the continuous infraction on environmental sanitation offences by residents without adequate enforcement, the Lagos State Chief Judge, Justice Kazeem Alogba, has approved and dedicated 24 magistrates’ courts and mobile courts across the state for the trial of offenders.
