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”.
“Those are parts of the ten year rolling plan and we will increase our waste conversion to almost 70 per cent to 80 per cent of the wastes we generate in Lagos. The wastes will now be converted to something very useful within that ten years rolling plan. Then, we want to make sure that we get the economics of waste management very well and the economics must be perfect within the next ten year. So those are the key ingredients of those plans.’’

So where will be d nxt dumping of refuse site??? Msheewww. Misplaced priorities
Welcomed development.
Better than leaving it as a dumpster!

In Nigeria when u hear dat simply knw dat it just cheap talk until when we start seeing action.
#Royal Priesthood#

Welcome development
Good.
Nothing is impossible... waiting to see the outcome....
So let wait and see
Nice. Just hope that when Fashola be gone, the plan won't roll 10yrs away
I love one documentary of that place "This is Lagos". Who will the golf course help, Lagos is not meant for only the rich oo, I rather they make it a big amusement park for kids and family
Perfect. I hope the wealthy will use the golf course?
Dats better...
Gdmoni Linda and Libers.....Av a blessed day
Better o
That place stinks like hell!!
Amen ohh,that place stinks for years.
Let's watch and see
A GOLF COURSE WOULDN'T BE A BAD IDEA BUT COME'ON....IS THIS WHAT WE REALLY NEED!!
WHY NOT USE THE RECYCLED GARBAGE TOO GENERATE POWER #LIGHTBULBMOMENT
Good initiative.... That place stinks a lot.
And how would a golf course impact positively in the lives of the average Lagosian bearing in mind that it is an elitist sport. Why can't they make it a large scale housing area for Lagosians. APC is just a government for the elites. Jimi Agbaje all the way!
Golf course by d road?do they know how hard those balls .. If they want to use if for sports i suggest Olympics related sports.. See when Nigeria goes for Olympics how many things we dey participate inside? G.O
>>>> A golf course is going to look really beautiful there but, have they provided an alternative dumping site? <<<<
Nice. Very nice.
Great ideas
That's would be a very welcome development .👍
Ok heard. Very gud development. Hope there is an alternative place.
Hmmmm! I would love to see that magic! It would take some doing to transform that place.
Thank God...that place is an eyesore
Golf course ke? Ok ooo
Thats a good one.Goodluck.
That would be so nice for real #onelovefromSnow#
Beta,gud development

Commendable effort.
If well managed, I'm sure it will solve the drainage problem in Lagos.

Okay! At least it will get rid of the awful smell
That will be 9th Wonder.

PRAISE GOD FOR THAT O...AT LAST WE WILL BREATH FRESH AIR
It's a good plan which all Lagosians will be proud of, we pray and hope it comes to reality
Woow...what a great and excellent idea!! Good of them.
That's good.
Nigeria with a great vision but never to to reality just like obasanjo vision 2020 why do we put things in a time that it can never come to happen..now just golf course is 10 yrs project.in UAE this we not last up to 2yrs..but I we advise if the can build shopping mall there that we generate money and if well managed

That's a good move.. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
**SUGAR**
Nice!
Hmm
Thank God
Ok dats not bad,they want to put d land to better use
That would be great but another dumpsite should be provided for the people living in that area. If not, Nigerians would continue to pour refuse ther in the middle of the night.
Good one.

A disable learning arena would do just fine instead of wasting resources on a golf course SMH...Mr+tive
Thank God for that
That place stinks
Hope the plan will be executed and not another way of opening office for some political office holder. ......our eyes are on you guys!
You're just looking for a way to rubbish the good idea.. is jimi agbaje going to perform a miracle?
omo,tank God.av always said wanted it 2 b in ikorodu or badagry.
You're very daft. Read the story again and you'll find your answers.
MADNESS. SO ARE WE GOING TO PRETEND THIS ISN'T ANOTHER WHITE ELEPHANT THAT TOTALLY ALIENATES THE MASSES, SERVES THE RICH AND CONTRIBUTES VIRTUALLY NOTHING TO POVERTY ALLEVIATION. THE FACT IS IT IS MORE PRODUCTIVE AS A LANDFILL THAN A SILLY INORGANIC GOLF COURSE SERVING OUR FAKE BIG BOY CULTURE.
Linda, almost a year now nothing has happened. Take note
