Community representatives also acknowledged the impact of NBC’s intervention. Youth leader Samuel Idoko of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Apapa chapter, said the effort complements youth-driven recycling initiatives, while Jide Santos, chairman of Azare Community Development Association, praised NBC’s role in fostering environmental consciousness.

The initiative reflects a broader vision that environmental sustainability can only be achieved through shared responsibility between corporations, government, and the communities they serve.
