About $250 billion is yet to be tapped in Nigeria’s waste management sector, the Managing Director of Pioneer Waste Master Limited, Amb Ekpoye Promise Nakus has said.

Nakus described the sector as huge but left untapped, hence he invented the pioneer waste unit (PWU) and recycling plants, now piloting the revolution for the benefit of Nigerians.

According to the ambassador of waste management and inventor of PWU, the waste management industry is worth $250 billion, which requires developing an appropriate roadmap to ensure the delivery of the projects for conversion of waste to wealth.

His invention is a work of long research into the current ineffective ways of waste disposal systems with a strong passion for instituting positive changes and building smart cities towards a cleaner society, he said.

The conceptualisation of smart cities by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires a bold initiative, which the administration of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu is committed to its possible development with dogged determination to harness resources to achieve it in partnership with critical stakeholders to take advantage of the modern technology and invention in the sector.
