The FCT Minister of State, Dr Ramatu Aliyu has disclosed that the FCT administration spent about N8 billion annually on waste management
The Minister made the disclosure in a statement issued by her Special Assistant on Media, Mr Austine Elemue, on Sunday in Abuja.
Aliyu said that this brought the total sum of N8 billion to pay over 64 cleaning contractors, engaged in the management of waste in the nation’s capital. She said that in a circular economy virtually nothing was discarded, stressing that products and materials were kept in circulation.“It is clear that waste management is a cross-cutting environmental issue, impacting many aspects of our society and the economy.
“Presently, we have a total number of 64 waste management contractors in the FCC and Satellite Towns. Aliyu, therefore, called for synergy and understanding between the government and the private sector in ensuring effective and profitable waste management.
