Ogun State Government says its Waste Management Circular Economic Programme for waste reduction, use and recycling will be private-sector driven for optimum performance.

Governor Dapo Abiodun stated this at the donation of 100 branded waste bins to the newly-established Ogun State Waste Management Authority (OGWAMA), by a private waste sector, DeTopNotch Service Limited, as part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), in Mowe, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the State.

Represented by his Special Adviser on Environment and Chief Executive Officer of OGWAMA, Mr. Ola Oresanya, Governor Abiodun said his government decided to make the programme to be private-sector driven, to provide more employment opportunities for youths and women in the society.

While appreciating DeTopNotch Resource Limited for its gesture, Governor Abiodun called on other Private Sector Participants (PSP), to invest in waste management and make the State one of the cleanest in the country.

Earlier, the Managing Director of DeTopNotch Resources Limited, Barrister David Ayo-Odugbesan said the donation of the bins was part of the company's way of giving back to society, calling on residents of the State to support government’s clean environment efforts.
