Environmental challenges

• Waste disposal

  Lagos produces 8 million tonnes of waste a year

  Solutions: some waste is used for land reclamation in the slums like in Makoko to create land on the sea
• Water pollution

  Over 50% of Lagos' water supply is contaminated by sewage or sea water

  No solutions
• Air pollution and traffic congestion

  People spend approx. 3 hours in traffic a day

  LAMATA have created a 'transport masterplan' including rail, road and boat systems
