•Ekpoye Promise Nakus (Ambassador of waste management)

No less than $250 billion is yet to be tapped in the Nigeria waste management sector as revealed by the Managing Director of Pioneer Waste Master Limited Ambassador Ekpoye Promise Nakus.

He described the sector as enormous, left untapped and mismanaged. This according to him, was why 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 Pioneer Waste Unit and Recycling Plants, the waste management industry is worth $200b hence he invented and developed the appropriate roadmap to ensure the delivery of the projects for conversion of waste to wealth and provide millions of jobs for the teeming masses.

The invention of the Pioneer Waste Unit is a progress work of long research into the current ineffective way of waste disposal system with a strong passion to institute positive changes and building smart cities towards cleaner society and a deviation to experience a revolution and all-round development of the sector.

It would be recalled that improper and indiscriminate waste disposal has been an endemic problem in Nigeria and by implications the entire Africa. The invention led to the development of the implementation roadmap to the realisation of the provision of the proposed Ten million direct and indirect jobs for Nigerians with the current revolution in the waste management value chain.

The conceptualisation of smart cities under the sustainable development goal (SDG) requires a bold initiative which the administration of His Excellency President Ahmed Bola Tinubu GCFR is committed to its possible development with dogged determination to ensure results and harnessing resources to achieving it in partnership with critical stakeholders to take advantage of the modern technology and invention in the sector.

The waste management value chain in Nigeria is strategic and the desire to scale up the sector is to avert the dangers of neglect and its consequences, which cannot be overemphasized in years to come.

There was no better time to pilot the needed radical reforms in the waste management sector than now given the rapid urban development in Nigeria and the need to set control mechanisms to work for the collective security and safety of future generations accordingly.

Ambassador Ekpoye Promise Nakus stated that the structure of the cutting-edge technology put in place to drive the process, midwife and deliver the positive revolution in the waste management sector, where the nation can holistically experience the needed cleaner society and ascertain the deployment of the required strategies for the progress and benefits of the society is one of the best things that has happened through Pioneer Waste Master Limited.

Speaking further on the readiness of the project, the managing director pointed out the right initiative to ensure the simultaneous taking off of the gigantic project across the length and breadth of Nigeria as the right step so purposeful in the evolution of the right direction by the current administration and the foresight with determination to step up right livelihood for optimum environmental sustainability.

The waste ambassador, Ekpoye Promise Nakus, giving extensive views of the past, the current and the future, posited that we cannot afford to lose sight of the fact that there was never a time in the history of our collective development where the coming massive empowerment of citizens through the initiative of technical conceptualisation, support and innovation of Pioneer Waste Master Limited through partnership and financial commitment of the visionary and selfless administration of His Excellency, President Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

The eco-friendly innovative technology of Pioneer Waste Unit (PWU) is second to none and it is a thing of joy to be part of the modern waste management technology and recycling plants.
