| dc.description.abstract | Disposing of wastes in urban cities has been a major health threat in the society, particularly in Ejigbo area of Lagos State. This study therefore examined the influence of waste management on environmental insecurity among sub-urban residents in Ejigbo community, Lagos State. Descriptive survey research design was used for the study. Convenience sampling technique was used to sample 500 respondents. The research instrument was revalidated using crombach method of reliability for internal consistency and the result yielded 0.71 alpha. Research hypotheses were tested using t-test statistical tool and the result held at 0.05 alpha level. The findings showed significant influence on insufficient funding by government at all levels. This would automatically reduce any inherent health threats arising from the waste disposal in the community (t= 3.939, p< 0.05), effective monitoring and control by the agencies involved (t= 3.351, p< 0.05) and the level of awareness campaign should be intensified to completely eradicate insecurity of the environment among sub-urban residents in Lagos State, particularly people living in Ejigbo community of Lagos State, Nigeria (t= 3.092, p< 0.05). The study concludes and recommends among others; that government should intensify their efforts in the area of awareness campaign; effective monitoring and earmark good budgetary allocation to enhance positive attitude among Lagos residents towards good waste disposal and thereby reducing environmental insecurity in Lagos. | en_US |
