The PSP initiative came was built into the existing Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), established in December 1991under Edict No. 55, which empowered the agency in collection and disposal of domestic and industrial waste.
Between the regime of Tinubu and his successor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, the State Government supported operators of PSP with 100 compactor trucks through loan secured by the state government. About 1,500 PSP waste operators were in potentially considered before over 400 met the conditions and stipulated standard for the franchise.
