Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) last week unveiled their brand ambassador, “OzzyBosco Wonderkid” born Master Oziomachukwu
Favour Mojekwu.
This is on the occasion of the official launch/flag-off ceremony of
OzzyBosco’s pet project: “Keep Lagos Clean” Cleanliness Revolution Campaign
…children lead, adults follow! continue...
OzzyBosco who is working in partnership with LAWMA is to
sensitize, motivate and educate the Lagos populace in particular kids/teens on
the need to keep their environment clean.
The LAWMA Managing Director, Mr Ola Oresanya at the LAWMA headquarters,
Ijora-Olopa, described the wonderkid as an exemplary child who is a Change
Agent for his generation. He used the occasion to announce the
involvement of OzzyBosco Wonderkid in the LAWMA “I Care Project” which
he described as new innovation in the State’s cleanliness culture. Kids he said
are being taught to make wealth from waste; picking up waste in their homes,
schools, public places and bringing them to LAWMA in exchange for a mouth
watery pack.
The conference hall venue was filled to the brim with many dignitaries including; the LAWMA GM (Administration and Special Duties) Mrs Abimbola Oguns, top Lagos State Government Functionaries, Corporate Bodies, Television Personalities and Celebrities from the entertainment industry were not left out. Celebrities on attendance include, Ms Ngozi Nwosu, Dr Tee Mac (MFR), ace comedian MC Kofi, Schools, representatives from the market unions, Rev Sis Josephine and the children from OzzyBosco’s charity (Saint Monica’s Orphanage Home) and massive media presence.
The occasion was however rounded off with a dazzling stage performance
by the Wonderkid OzzyBosco, who thrilled the exhilarating audience with the
project theme song titled “KEEP LAGOS CLEAN”. The song specially composed by
kid star and dedicated to the project.
Afterwards, the LAWMA Ambassador with his large entourage, including top
officials from his two (2) brands (Tigo Milk and LAWMA) proceeded to the headquarters
of the Lagos Island (West) Local Government Office in Isale Eko where they
received very warm welcome by top management officials of the LGA.
Shortly after the reception, the team moved to the streets of Isale eko
through Iga Idugaran where they embarked on the proper cleanliness exercise to
the admiration of all the people around. The high point and motivating part of
the exercise was seeing OzzyBosco and the children at the forefront; physically
tackling the job and taking the lead position whilst adults admire and follow.
In his speech, Mr Ola Oresanya poured encomium on the kid dynamite whom
he described as a sensational child star. He further stated that “If you want to change a
nation, you start by re-orientating the children, so that the next
generation will have the right environmental values”.
The next project is expected to hold in September in another LGA. In
line with the road map of the project, OzzyBosco and team will be working in 57
Local Government Areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in
Lagos State. This historic project is planned to hold respectively
(every two months) using the existing Thursday market sanitation system.
