Event Description: We are thrilled to reflect on the success of the Ondo State Urban Waste Management Summit, which took place on November 9th, 2021. This milestone event showcased our dedication to promoting Sustainable Development Goal 3 through comprehensive waste management approaches and public awareness initiatives.
About the Event: The decision to launch a Clean-up campaign in Akure metropolis and our participation in a cleaning exercise to commemorate World Clean Up Day on September 18th, 2021, resonated deeply with Netlink Environmental Conservation Organisation’s (NECOR) mission. NECOR has consistently led sensitization campaigns, advocacy, and efforts to raise community consciousness for clean, hygienic surroundings and healthier lifestyles.
The connections between outbreaks of Lassa fever, Cholera, COVID-19, and environmental issues like littering and unsanitary habits are unmistakable. The urgency of addressing this challenge led the Ondo State Waste Management Authority to enforce environmental laws more rigorously, particularly against corporate and private organizations. Despite these actions, the pungent odor and health hazards from accumulating waste persist.
In response, NECOR called upon Government MDAs, Corporate and Private Institutions, Individuals, and stakeholders across levels to partake in the ONDO STATE URBAN WASTE MANAGEMENT SUMMIT. This summit provided a platform to collectively develop a blueprint and roadmap aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 3, ensuring cleaner surroundings, healthier communities, and a sustainable future.
The summit was an impactful event that united individuals and organizations committed to making a positive environmental impact. The interactive discussions, insightful presentations, and collaborative sessions highlighted the shared determination to enhance waste management practices and promote a healthier environment.
