The UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mr Mohamed Malick Fall, has said plastic waste accounts for 13 per cent of the total sum of waste generated in Nigeria, adding that if properly harnessed, it could create mass employment in the plastic value chain.
Fall stated this at a hybrid event convened at the UN House in Abuja, to commemorate this year’s World Environment Day Exhibition (popularly called WEDex) 2025.
The UN organised this year’s event in partnership with GreenHubAfrica Foundation, Sterling One Foundation, IHS Towers and other stakeholders.
