Waste management in Nigeria faces several challenges, including inadequate infrastructure for waste collection and disposal, insufficient funding and resources for waste management programs, lack of public awareness and education on proper waste disposal practices, indiscriminate dumping of waste in open spaces and water bodies, and limited enforcement of environmental regulations.

These issues contribute to environmental pollution, health hazards, and negative impacts on ecosystems and communities.

Joey Shekwonuzhibo & Christy Makut discussed these issues and how to mitigate them in our communities with Asibi Akwa Felicity, Monday Akubuokwu, and June Elsie.
