Tiivistelmä
Nigeria is presently enmeshed in two related, but different problems; performing its constitutional responsibility of waste management and struggling to achieve the sustainability development as enshrine in the 2030 agenda, which Nigeria is also a signatory. To further understand how complicated the two issues are, practical examples are given from different part of the world.
The thesis therefore aims to establish the strong relationship between waste recycling and reuse, and sustainability development and to further proof that an effective waste recycling and waste reuse, most especially the exploitation of informal waste sector can help Nigeria achieve some of the sustainability development goals it has been struggling to achieve.
Since the possibility of achieving some of the goals of sustainability development lies in effective waste recycling and reuse. Focus was on the critical analysis of the current waste management as practiced in Nigeria was done, with the aim of identifying how to right the wrong.
It is necessary to integrate the informal waste sector into the mainstream of waste practices, because the informal waste sector has performed well, where the formal waste sector failed. Also, the waste management practices must mirror the waste management practices in European Countries, because most of these countries have achieved substantial successes in relation to waste management and sustainable development.
