Research is currently to ascertain the sources and volume of waste on the Lagos waterways and to find a lasting solution to the problem. In addition, the Authority has embarked on a public sensitization programme that covers all communities in the city and in the riverine communities where markets tend to be situated and in residential communities on the shores to teach them about the importance of keeping the waterways clean.
Attached here are some of the materials deployed.

To ensure compliance, Lagos State sanitation laws are also strictly enforced on those who violate the rules. LASWA in conjunction with our sister agency LAWMA and a Non-Governmental Organization, FIBRA (Which is a consortium of bottling companies) carry out daily sanitation patrols using 6 units of open fiber boats to patrol the waterways and the shorelines.
