After regular and detailed observations of street sweepers� activities in various areas of Lagos, one has been able to establish for a fact that most if not all of them usually dispose of the sand and debris they sweep off the roadsides into the drainages provided on such roadsides; as this appears to be the easiest mode available to them for the disposal of debris collected after the day's work . It therefore behoves on the people in position of authority in this regard, to use their good offices to remedy this situation. This includes officials of the Lagos State Ministry of Environment and the Lagos State Waste Management Authority. The street sweepers should also be retrained to appreciate the fact that road drainages are entirely meant for the quick and effective channelling of run off surface water on the roads to ensure longer life-span for the roads and not for easier disposal of debris or sand swept from these roads.
