Lagos State Waste Managers of Nigeria (LWAMN) have expressed keen interest in adopting Ghana’s innovative public-private partnership (PPP) model to address the pressing challenge of waste management.
During a recent interaction with officials from the Kumasi Composting and Recycling Plant (KCARP), Olugbenga Adebola, LWAMN’s national president, emphasized the pivotal role of collaboration and knowledge exchange in tackling environmental issues across African cities.
He commended Ghana’s Jospong Group for pioneering advancements in waste management and expressed eagerness to replicate similar successes in Nigeria.
Ing. Sena Tengey, Managing Director of the Kumasi Medical Waste Treatment Facility, highlighted the facility’s vital role in managing medical waste from healthcare facilities across four regions. With a capacity to process 20,000 kilograms of medical waste every 8 hours, the facility exemplifies sustainable waste management practices in the region.
