Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Environment and National Coordinator, Digital Peers international, Mrs Odusote Ibukun, has warned that bad management of waste could lead to calamity.<\/p>\n

According to her, improper disposal of wastes, especially the plastic wastes, is a global phenomenon, needing global attention.<\/p>\n

The former Permanent Secretary spoke during her visit, alongside some members of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Education Board, to donate receptacles to some government schools in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve spent so much of my career in the environment. Combining environment with agriculture and economical issues, they\u2019re all within the same circle,\u201d she said<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I know, I have experienced, I know the calamity that we can have as a result of bad management of waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just about Nigeria. It\u2019s a global phenomenon that you have to address issues of waste management. You don\u2019t want people to bring waste from other countries and dump them here in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria wouldn\u2019t want to do that to other countries. That\u2019s why we have to educate our young people and give them talks on pollution and waste management, so that they don\u2019t just throw things like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake them understand that the gutters are not meant for waste. It\u2019s an over-aching burden that we want our environment clean.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want proper recycling or disposal. The FCT Administration will pay a lot more attention to waste management but I must commend the FCT Administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompared to many other states, the FCT is trying a lot. When you go into the hinterland, the villages of FCT, you will still see it\u2019s a lot cleaner than other states.\u201d<\/p>\n
