Ogun State Government has reiterated its pledge to provide an enabling environment for recycling companies in the state to reach their full potential.
Mr. Ola Oresanya , Special Adviser to the governor on Environment and Chief Executive Officer of the state Waste Management Authority (OGWAMA), gave the assurance when three metal recycling companies – Mathi Metal Recycling Limited, Merito Worldwide Impex Limited and Fenice Metal Industries Limited in Sagamu axis of the state – paid him a working visit.
Oresanya said the state, which has the highest number of recycling industries in Nigeria and could be called “Nigeria Recycling Capital,” would continue to support them through a circular economic programme which encourages waste minimisation, recycling and re-use for the benefit of their business, society and the environment.

The special adviser also told them of the state government’s plan to expose their operational staff to purposely recognised training regimes so that their products would be of equal quality with their foreign counterparts, thereby improving their marketability at home and increase exportation.
He, therefore, urged them to be better organised and update their registration for proper profiling to benefit from the good intention of the state government and further directed them to adhere strictly to health and safety codes of their industry for the benefit of all.
