In Nigeria, the Government of Lagos state expressed readiness to partner with some Swedish organizations on how to turn both solid waste and liquid waste into energy across Lagos.
The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab said the state would continue to pay special attention to waste management, adding that waste is not waste but remains one of the best resources everywhere.
He said Waste to Energy is a project that the State Government is willing to embark on to move the narrative forward progressively and productively.
“Our resolve from the beginning of this tenure is that whatever we have to engage in to manage and deploy our solid and liquid waste as a resource is a priority for this government as it will save Lagos and other neighboring states”, he said.
He added that Lagos generates between 13,000 to 14,000 tons of waste per day and the state is open to suggestions about possible productive ways to turn it into a resource and move the state forward.
He also said that selected state officials had previously visited Sweden, and the reports of their findings have been submitted, saying that the State will require a roadmap from the Swedish organization.
