Visionscape Sanitation Solutions, the waste management utility company contracted by the Lagos State Government to provide residential solid waste management collection services across the State, has responded to Lagos State House of Assembly’s statement directing the state government to cancel its operation in the state.
In a series of tweets on the firm’s Twitter handle, Visionscape CEO, John Irvine noted that the firm will continue to discharge its part of the contract with the Lagos State Government.
“We would like to believe that there is some misinterpretation of the statements being circulated, despite our continued efforts in meeting the performance matrices of our valid and subsisting contract.

You need to take a drive to Ajao estate. Right from the front of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT to every part of Ajao estate is dead and gone!!! The local government chairman drives on that same road. The house of assembly guy drives on these same roads. What type of people are these??????

So what would happen to
1. All the dirt in Lagos roads
2. All the facilities already owned by #Visionscape
3. Staffs of VisionscapeCouldn't this issue have been concluded in a more amicable manner where all gain instead of such massive loss to one? Other investors are watching https://t.co/vcp1MYHMoo

@temiokomi @ClassicFM973 Lagos state house of assembly members had to wait this late to act on the Visionscape disaster, should we return them? they kept quiet when they are the ones who can put the governor in check. All the house members must go with their Governor.

While many Lagosians are clamouring for the total cancellation of Visionscape activities, others call for an amicable resolution which will include the reintroduction of the PSP operators into the waste management services.
