Image: Punch Nigeria · original report

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has called on industries to use circular economy principles and reduce waste. He also warned that the state government would impose sanctions on companies that violate waste-management laws. The available report does not provide details of the proposed measures, enforcement timetable or specific violations cited by the governor.

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has urged industries in the state to adopt circular economy principles, according to Punch Nigeria. The appeal places recycling and the reuse of materials at the centre of the state’s approach to industrial waste. The source does not provide further details about the policies or programmes the governor wants companies to introduce.

Abiodun also warned that the state would sanction industries that violate its waste laws. The report does not identify any company, describe a particular breach or state what penalties could be imposed. The governor’s remarks therefore combine a call for more sustainable industrial practices with a warning that compliance with existing waste regulations will be enforced.

No implementation date or additional government action was provided in the available material.
