Nigeria’s e-waste problem isn’t just about old phones and broken laptops, it’s about toxic danger, missed value, and a system that’s failing us.

While discarded electronics leak harmful toxins into our environment, they also hide valuable metals that could fuel jobs and a circular economy.

The challenge? We have the people but not the systems, infrastructure, or awareness to recycle safely. Instead, e-waste ends up burned, dumped, and forgotten.

If a system is broken, how can it be fixed?
