Badagry Residents Profit from Eco-Circulate Initiative
Lagos State government’s Circular Economy program, Eco-Circulate, rewarded Badagry residents with food items, cash, free transport vouchers, health insurance, and more for their participation in sustainable development practices.
The event, led by Mrs. Titilayo Oshodi, Special Adviser on Climate Change and Circular Economy, aimed to educate and enlighten the community on the value of waste recycling, reusing, and reducing.
Residents eagerly exchanged their waste for rewards, demonstrating their enthusiasm for the program. According to Oshodi, “Every community needs to understand that effective waste management affects their health, productivity, financial capability, and overall quality of life.”

The initiative’s sustainability is ensured through partnerships with government agencies and private entities, with plans to expand to all 57 local councils in Lagos.
Commissioner Bolaji Roberts urged residents to take full advantage of the program, thanking the Office of the Special Adviser for considering Badagry worthy of hosting the flag-off campaign.
Eco-Circulate is a one-day sensitization campaign to enlighten communities on the values waste can offer and engage businesses in the state’s drive towards a Circular Economy.
