The Oyo State Government has intensified efforts to actualize its Waste-to-Wealth initiative with the inspection of a proposed 44-Acre facility at Elere Village along the Ido–Eruwa Road, Ibadan.
The Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Honorable Ademola Aderinto, led a management team on the site visit to assess its readiness and ensure compliance with environmental standards.
During the inspection, technical experts provided detailed briefings on the project’s operational framework, environmental safeguards, and projected economic benefits.
According to the project team, the facility is designed to convert municipal waste into valuable by-products such as electricity, biofuel, fertilizer, construction materials, and other reusable resources.
Speaking during the visit, Honorable Aderinto emphasized that the site selection was carefully done to protect nearby communities and preserve air and water quality.
He added that the facility would incorporate sanitary landfill systems capable of achieving up to 97 percent material recovery, leaving minimal residual waste for controlled disposal.
