Lagos State is a very large demography in Nigeria and the West African sub-region, hosting millions of people from different parts of the world. It is undoubtedly the largest economy in Nigeria (and by extension in the West African sub-region) and pulls different kinds of economic activities and labors into its orbit. Intense economic activities in Lagos produces vast amounts of wastes—industrial, chemical, mechanical, commercial, and domestic. Though faced with many other problems, the issue of waste management has been recurrent in the socio-economic development of the State. Being an area that has accommodated socio-cultural divergence, certain groups have played a role in the management of solid and material wastes in Lagos State. The Hausa migrant laborers have been prominent in this regard. This work examines the trajectory of waste management for environmental sustainability in Lagos State. It interrogates some of the issues and problems emanating from the involvement of Hausa migrant labors in the management of Lagos wastes. It adopts a historical approach to data collation and analysis, and employed the instrument of both primary and secondary sources to illuminate the very important aspect of the environmental and socio-economic history of Lagos State. The chapter argues that Hausa migrant laborers are the backbone of Lagos’s waste management system, providing critical environmental services to the city while suffering marginalization and hazardous conditions as a consequence of their informal contributions to the very important aspect of the region’s existence.
