Lagos, the fifth largest economy in Africa is also Nigeria's commercial hub. By 2020, it is expected that the urban population will exceed 29 million inhabitants who will be direct beneficiaries of the new environmental reforms through dependable sanitation services and better health conditions.

They will also provide waste collection, processing and disposal services for residential properties, roads and highways. Beyond collection and disposal, there are also plans to incorporate waste to energy plants into the integrated waste management plans of the State.

Under the new arrangements, British company, Taylor will supply communal steel waste containers while SSI Schaefer of Germany, one of the world's largest total solutions providers and components manufacturers will offer a host of other technologically advanced products to the project.

Visionscape will be dispatching a large fleet of multi-dimensional vehicles and a proprietary waste management solution supported by geo-location technology that is expected to significantly improve service delivery and collection services for the residents of the city Lagos.
