He disclosed that competition has now been included as part of the workshop in order to sustain the interest participants and also promote healthy rivalry among the various participating schools.

The Recycling Club, Akinyode said, will immensely benefit students and provide an avenue for income through the conversion of waste materials to useful household items.
