The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has withdrawn the operating licences of six Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators over inadequate waste collection services in their assigned areas.
LAWMA Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin, announced the decision on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, during a management briefing at the Authority’s headquarters in Ijora-Olopa, Lagos.
The affected operators are K-HS Integrated Services, formerly Gboleybos Nigeria Limited, in Igbogbo-Baiyeku; Deshasat Enterprises in Olorunda; Bailas Nigeria Company in Ojo; Guestimate Environmental Protection Company in Orile Agege; Evabol Ventures in Ajeromi-Ifelodun; and Korad Closet Empire Limited in Ojodu.
The affected locations are Ward C1, Slot A and Abosan in Igbogbo-Baiyeku; Ibereko (LIMCA) in Olorunda; Sabo Oniba in Ojo; Papa Ashafa II in Orile Agege; Oluwa 1 in Ajeromi-Ifelodun; and Oke-Ira/Powerline in Ojodu.

Gbadegesin said the decision followed a review of the operators’ service capacity. K-HS Integrated Services voluntarily withdrew from its assigned area, while LAWMA terminated the licences of the other five.
The latest action is part of efforts to tighten regulation of the PSP system, improve waste collection coverage and hold operators accountable for service delivery.
It follows a similar move in May, when LAWMA revoked the licences of five other operators after an operational review found them below the required standards. They were Kenny JPS, Clean Craft Nigeria Limited, Doveroost Limited, Dewayls and Pesjoy Ventures.
LAWMA said it would put alternative arrangements in place to prevent disruption of waste collection in the affected communities and advised residents to use approved waste management channels.
