The federal government of Nigeria has promised to develop a National Digital Repository for Waste Pickers.

This, according to the government, is part of efforts to address the numerous challenges faced by the Waste Pickers while performing their duties.

Malam Balarabe Lawal, the minister of Environment, stated this at a meeting on the National Digital Repository for Waste Pickers workshop, in Abuja.

“We cannot discuss sustainable waste management without referencing the operations of waste pickers, who form an integral part of the waste management value chain.

“Waste pickers exist as unsung heroes, but the truth is that they provide essential services that ensure the protection of our environment and public health,” Lawal said.

The meeting was a collaboration between the Federal Ministry of Environment, International Labour Organization (ILO), and Tearfund Nigeria.

Lawal stated that waste pickers, popularly known as “Baban Bolla,” are the backbone of waste recovery, contributing significantly to recycling and the circular economy.

“They form an informal group whose activities encompass all aspects of waste management, from collection, sorting, transportation, processing, and selling of recovered and recyclable materials to earn a living.”

He added that the integration of waste pickers would unlock the immense economic potential using them as reliable foot soldiers.

On his part, Vanessa Phala-Moyo, country director, International Labour Organization for Nigeria, said that a concerted effort was required to ensure that waste streams were effectively controlled using sound waste management practices.

Phala-Moyo noted that, when managed well, waste offered opportunities for creation of jobs in the circular economy and also contributed to strengthening the resilience of local economies.

Devices for injured personnel in the golden hour, including transport for stroke victims, heart attack patients and traumatic injuries with complications, to those who would otherwise have limited access to emergency services in the golden hour. Our partnership with OEM Le Medical will also ensure we offer to the market one year warranty and after sales short on all devices.”
