The Onigbongbo Local Government Area of Lagos State has introduced private sector participation in street sweeping, with 19 contractors registered for the first phase of the project. The local government is dissatisfied with the performance of its own street sweepers and those from Highway Managers, but is not depriving anyone of their job. Instead, the council's street sweepers will be redeployed to strategic areas and the private sector will be responsible for sweeping major highways. The initiative aims to create employment and improve the cleanliness of the area.
