The Go Recycling Initiative is designed to support a circular economy by diverting recyclable waste from landfills, improving resource recovery, and creating income opportunities for households through waste-to-wealth programs.

Speaking at the unveiling, Chidilim Menakaya, Director of Sahara Group Foundation, highlighted the people-centred approach of the project.

“The Sahara Go Recycling Hub in Ibeju-Lekki is more than a recycling point; it is a platform for dignity, livelihoods, and environmental responsibility. By bringing structured recycling closer to communities, we are empowering residents to protect their environment while creating economic value,” Menakaya said.
