Investors Commit N10bn To Waste Management In Kaduna

The Kaduna State Government has handed over waste management in the state to three investors, who are committing N10 billion to the project.
The Director of Environment,  Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, Mr Yusuf Othman, made this known in an interview The Tide source in Kaura, Kaduna State.
Othman, who spoke on the sideline of a community sensitisation and advocacy on land degradation and plantation in Kafanchan, said that proper waste management was a priority of the state government.
“You know health is wealth. So, government took it as a very serious priority to ensure that we sanitised our environment.
“As a trend, we have to key into global practices. There is nowhere in the world where they are still operating the way we do when it comes to waste management.
“It will interest you to know that we have handed over waste management in Kaduna State to three investors, and they are committing about N10 billion.
“And these investors are: Bealink, Environmental Expression Limited and MS Gobe,” he said.
Othman said the investors would recycle the waste collected into organic manure, adding that it was far better for farming than the chemical fertiliser.
“What they intend to do is to recover and recycle the recycleable materials, decompose the organic part and then treat and package it in form of organic manure.
