For a very long time, Nigeria did not have any structured response to the waste crisis in the country. With our population increasing in quantum leaps, the environment is daily inundated with the weight of waste materials emanating from the activities of the citizens. While other forward-looking nations were already converting their waste to wealth, we cowered under the odorous invasion of our own rubbish.
It is in order to achieve this that the Federal Ministry of Environment in conjunction with the United Nations Development Organisation embarked on the development of a National Solid Waste Management Policy to guide effective, sustainable, socially acceptable, environmentally safe and sound management of solid waste in Nigeria. The document was presented to the nation on May 10, 2021.
Thus, managing solid waste has become an important concern in both domestic and international material cycles, for environmental preservation, efficient resource utilisation and sustainable development. In Nigeria, like many other nations, we are faced with gross environmental problems and solid waste stands as one of the major challenges.
For instance, any environmentally conscious Nigerian would be saddened at the sight of billowing smokes that emanate from abattoirs all over the nation. Such centres have become polluting hubs instead of eco-stewardship centres. There is a combination of air, water and land pollutions. Meanwhile, these are resources that would have been used to create wealth and increase the green capacity of young Nigerians.
