In a refreshing blend of humor and public education, Nigerian lawyer and content creator, Timi Agbaje, has caught the attention of Lagos State’s Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, for using his platform to highlight the importance of proper waste management.
EpeInsights reports that a recent skit posted by Agbaje shows him dramatizing a scenario in which he “arrests” a man for dumping waste improperly on the roadside, rather than using the official PSP (Private Sector Participant) waste disposal system provided by the state.
The video, which mixes satire with civic messaging, quickly went viral — and earned praise from the highest levels of Lagos environmental leadership.
Reacting to the video on social media, Tokunbo Wahab tweeted:
“Big thanks to @timiagbaje_ for being a responsible Lagosian! Your content which showcases proper waste disposal sets the right example. To all skit makers and influencers: You have the power to inspire millions. Join us in advocating for a #CleanerLagos…”
This commendation reflects a growing recognition of how digital influencers and comedians can drive social impact. With Lagos battling challenges related to indiscriminate waste disposal and urban sanitation, this kind of creative intervention serves as both awareness and advocacy.
