LASU’s campaign tagged, ‘Lagos Plastic Revolution’, emerged the best among applications received from over 200 universities in 53 countries in the annual competition organised by Millennium Campus Network (MCN) and Remmer Family Foundation, said the university in a statement.

The campaign helps to reduce plastic litters in Lagos waterways, starting with the university’s three campuses. The collected plastics would be processed into paving stones for building constructions. 

MCN is advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals with headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, while Remmer Family Foundation in Jacksonville, USA is a private charitable foundation committed to providing opportunities to make differences in communities.

The LASU Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, congratulated the students and their supervisors on the prize.
