S/KOREA: Korea champions solid waste management
South Korea, through its international aid agency KOICA, has championed solid waste management in Nigeria to build a ‘resource recirculated society’.
At a knowledge sharing seminar on waste management organised by KOICA in Abuja, Mr. Jibrin Ahmadu, chief technical officer, department of pollution control and environmental health, ministry of environment, explained that resource recirculation policies are indispensable for both the environment and economic growth.
He stated that solid waste management was still one of the most daunting environmental challenges facing the nation’s capital.
To curb open dumping of waste, he said government needs a planning system that will introduce separate waste collection systems in Abuja and increase public awareness on waste management.
