Speaking on the initiative, Soromidayo George, NBC’s Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, emphasized that the campaign goes beyond mere plastic collection. According to her, it is about shaping attitudes, unlocking economic opportunities, and empowering both employees and the community to take ownership of a greener future.
Since the commissioning of its Apapa recycling plant in January, NBC has strengthened its presence in Lagos’ green economy, creating jobs while serving as a model for other stakeholders in the recycling sector.
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.
