The Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria (AWAMN) has scored President Bola Tinubu high for his impactful strides in environmental sustainability and waste management in the country.

The National President of AWAMN, Dr Olugbenga Adebola, gave the commendation at a news conference on Wednesday in Lagos.

Speaking at the event, Adebola praised Tinubu’s visionary leadership, which began during his tenure as the Governor of Lagos State, where he introduced the Private Sector Participation waste management model.

He said the model transformed Lagos from one of the dirtiest cities to a model for clean urban development across Africa.

He noted that the celebration of the President’s second year in office coincided with the 2025 World Environment Day with the theme: End Plastic Pollution.

Adebola highlighted key environmental achievements under his administration as the creation of over 500,000 jobs through the Nigeria’s First Cleantech Innovation Policy and Sustainable Energy Access Project in all the local government areas in the country.

Others were circular economy initiatives such as agro-waste to energy conversion and a €7.9 billion methanol complex and Climate Change Act and commitment to net-zero emissions by 2060.

He listed other achievements to include greening the Sahel, with over 10 million trees planted in 2024; oil & gas sector reforms, reducing gas flaring by nearly half and Nigeria’s leadership in climate dialogue through participation in COP28, Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, and regional summits.

He applauded Tinubu’s support for job creation, industrialisation, and climate resilience, reaffirming their commitment as a legacy of his pioneering policies.

“We proudly celebrate President Tinubu as the Generalissimo of the Environment and stand behind his Renewed Hope Agenda.

“His leadership promises a sustainable and prosperous future for Nigeria,” Adebola said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
