The government has sought the support of Small and Medium Enterprises to help tackle the country’s growing waste management challenges, particularly plastic waste.
The initiative includes providing financial assistance and grants to SMEs engaged in recycling and other waste management ventures, aimed at promoting a circular economy and creating jobs.
Minister for Environment, Science and Technology, Mohammed Murtala, who oversaw the disbursement of about $300, 000 to each of the 10 SMEs, said the government will strictly monitor the initiative.
“We should all be conscious and monitor how the monies will be utilised. I do not need a dollar or a cedi from you. You need to use the money for the intended purpose, and I will be doing the monitoring because this is just the first tranche,” he stated.
