Choosing a city to live in Nigeria may be a lot of work. A lot of things should be put into consideration before relocating. Some of these things are, the cost of living, transportation, industrialization, and civilization, class, and taste. Many people consider relocating to Lagos for different reasons. The most common is a bid to get a job. However, some people just come to Lagos because they have discovered that other people, who came to Lagos and engaged businesses and succeeded. Thus, many Nigerians from the rural areas drift to urban areas. The rural-urban migration is majorly responsible for the 17 million housing deficit in Nigeria.

For me, a good reason to migrate to Lagos should be the activities of the LAWMA staff. In December 1991, the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) was christened under Edict No. 55, which made the agency responsible for the collection and disposal of municipal and industrial waste, as well as for the provision of commercial waste services to the State and Local Governments.
Twenty-five years after, the activities of LAWMA have improved drastically to a level that it should be appreciated. Although the organisation has its own challenges, but I must confess, it is better than it was at the beginning. Creating a clean and the health-friendly environment has always been the goal of the Lagos State Government. Thus, renting an apartment in Lagos may be plus. Because you can to think less of environmental health issues.
In previous years, Lagosians had to give their waste products to truck pushers for an exorbitant fee, or even burn their waste, which is dangerous to the health and the environment. The improvement in the services of LAWMA has created an opportunity for Nigerians to dispose of their waste products in a safe and hygiene manner. So if you want to relocate to Lagos, you can think less of disposing of your waste products. Renting a flat in Lagos is now healthier and better because no matter your environment or your local government LAWMA staff will get your waste.
You can also get an opportunity to partner with LAWMA. Waste recycling is becoming a big business. So if you are looking for a business to invest in, or a good reason to rent or buy a house in Lagos, consider the great opportunity with LAWMA. Some of their partners are CLINTON FOUNDATION, USAID, and UNDP. Sure it is fertile ground to invest in.
Another reason to rent a flat in Lagos is the enthusiasm of LAWMA staff. Especially those that work on the street, or sweep the street. They work with a kind of passion that shows that they enjoy what they do. I don’t know if there is a high incentive for their job, but the passion and friendliness they add to their job is like adding salt to pepper. Personally, I respect these set of people because they have taken off the garment of pride to start working on the street. Some of them are very beautiful women. These people do not see begging as an option so they invest their cleaning skill in cleaning the environment.
