Solid waste management is a self-evident need in urban and rural areas of Nigeria.
Our environment is ravaged by the effects of poor solid waste managements implementations, despite the policies and regulations by waste management authorities.
Nigeria generates about 32 million tons of solid waste annually, and reckless disposal of these wastes has led to severe environmental issues including blockage of sewers and drainage systems, choking of water bodies, clutter of solid waste on our roads, just to mention a few.
As many other African countries have begun doing, Nigeria must adopt the waste recycling method in other to control and properly mange municipal solid wastes in the nation.
Today, quite a number of entrepreneurs have ventured into the environmental management business with the aim of sensitizing Nigerians on the importance of waste recycling.
