Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has called on local businesses to adopt circular economy principles, urging them to cut waste, recover resources and boost operational efficiency.
In a statement to the media, the governor highlighted the benefits of a circular approach, noting that it can help industries reduce the volume of waste they produce while reclaiming valuable materials that would otherwise be discarded.
Abiodun said that embracing such practices would not only protect the environment but also improve the bottom line for firms by making resource use more efficient.
Ogun State, located in southwestern Nigeria, is home to a growing industrial sector that could reap significant gains from a shift toward more sustainable production methods.
The call was reported by Punch Nigeria, which covered the governor’s remarks on the importance of circular economy initiatives for the state’s economic and environmental future.
