The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has cleared the pile of dirt dumped along the median of the Lagos Airport road in the state.

This was after popular cyclist Ed Wonder urged the state government to do something about the airport road in Lagos, which was becoming an eyesore.

In a video on X, Ed Wonder lamented that such shouldn't be the situation because the airport road is the first road plied by visitors, tourist and diplomats when they first step into Nigeria

He wrote, "No billboard, no investment summit, no tourism campaign can compete with what people see with their own eyes the moment they land. A dirty airport road tells visitors wrongly that Lagos is chaotic, unserious, and careless with its environment.

"The painful part is that this problem is AVOIDABLE.

"Airport Road should be one of the most protected, most maintained corridors in the state. Illegal dumping should be impossible there.
"Waste management should be airtight. Monitoring should be constant.

"If we want to be taken seriously on the global stage, then the basics must be respected.

"You don’t welcome guests through a dirty front door.

"The question is simple:

"If we cannot keep the road that welcomes the world into Lagos clean, what message are we truly sending about who we are?"

Reacting, the Lagos State Government shared a video showing a LAWMA truck and officers clearing the median to restore orderliness.

The state shared on X, "Airport Road median cleared by LAWMA. Clean Lagos starts with all of us."
