The United Nations (UN), the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and the Department of Public Information (DPI) have launched a collaborative initiative to tackle the growing plastic waste problem in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Nasarawa State. The partnership aims to reduce environmental pollution and promote sustainable waste management practices.

Officials revealed that the program will focus on awareness campaigns, community engagement, and supporting recycling projects. Residents are encouraged to participate actively in sorting and properly disposing of plastic waste to help preserve the environment.

The initiative also plans to involve schools, local organizations, and businesses to create a lasting impact. By adopting innovative solutions and global best practices, the program hopes to minimize plastic pollution and improve the quality of life for residents in the affected areas.

Authorities emphasized that collaboration between international bodies and local communities is key to achieving a cleaner and healthier environment. They encouraged citizens to adopt eco-friendly habits and support ongoing efforts against plastic pollution.
