RE - EVALUATION OF WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN MINNA FOR SUSTAINABLE CITY DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEW MILLENIUM
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
One common feature of most urban centres in Nigeria is the gradual conversion of any available open space into refuse dump sites. Solid wastes generation create great havoc to Nigerian cities in terms of aesthetic beauty and functionality. It is a source of perpetual odour in our cities and in many cases it blocks access roads and thereby causes traffic obstructions on our highways. The specific objectives of this study are to examine the various components of solid wastes generation; identify the distribution of wastes dump sites within the area, examine the agencies in charge of solid wastes management in the area and their problems, and to make proposals for a more functional and sustainable public oriented wastes management method for the study area. Based on the observed problems associated with the existing waste management strategies in the study area, appropriate waste management recommendations are advanced to handle the situation.
