“How Can Trash Be More Expensive Than Food” – Comedian, I Go Save Laments Over Increase Of Trash Collection Fee(VIDEO)

Popular Nigerian comedian, I Go Save has taken to social media to call out the Lagos State government over alleged increase of monthly waste collection fee from N15,000 to N25,000 per month.

The comedian made this announcement via his verified Instagram page on Monday, 19th July, 2021.

Taking to his Instagram page, I go save said that those in his neighborhood received a message from  Lagos State Waste Management Authority(LAWMA) via WhatsApp chat informing them of a 10,000 Naira increase in the monthly fee for disposing waste.

He further made an instance saying that if a person who earns 30,000 naira per month sends 25,000 naira on waste disposition how will the person be able to survive.

The comedian also pointed out that such changes should be announced via LAWMA’s official platform and the account number given should have been an official one.

According to him, the message was rather sent to them via WhatsApp and they were equally given a private account to make the payment to.

He said;

“How trash collect be more expensive than food?

“How much is minimum wage that LAWMA decided to increase trash collect fees.

“So if a person earning 30 a month pays 25k for trash what will the person now use to feed?

“I even had to call my friend and colleague Buchi, who is a LAWMA ambassador but LAWMA won’t even listen to their ambassador.

“This is so sad because during the days of Governor Ambode waste collection was free and now it’s Sanwo-Olu’s regime everything is just going high.

“I would advise that Governor Sanwo-Olu calls these people to order because at the end it’s his name and tenure that’s been tarnished. He should better act now and ensure that they fish out those trying to dupe innocent citizens,”
