Two non-governmental groups, JCI Nigeria and ACT Foundation, have started a campaign against indiscriminate refuse dumping and implementation of efficient waste management which captures recycling.
The project tagged, ‘Waste-Free Nigeria’, which started on Friday, July 27, will climax on September 15, the day designated as World Cleanup Day, where Nigeria will join over 150 other countries and 20 million citizens around the globe to organise a national clean-up.
National President of JCI, Adeniyi Balogun, in a statement on Saturday, said the campaign would be an opportunity to explore how young people could take action towards making the environment better.
He said, “The collaboration between JCI Nigeria and ACT Foundation presents a rare opportunity to unite all sectors of society to fight against illegal waste disposal and create sustainable impact.”
