Lagos State Inks MoU For Waste-to-Energy PPP
3 June 2024Lagos State Government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Netherland’s Harvest Waste Consortium for the construction of a 60-75MW waste-to-energy plant at the Epe landfill in Lagos state, Nigeria.
The waste-to-energy facility will process 2,250 tonnes of solid waste each day, diverting some 95% of waste away from landfill. The plant will be developed using a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said the partnership aims to reduce environmental pollution, improve air quality and stem the degradation and contamination of water resources that poses threats to the quality of life in the state.
“The growth of our population signifies progress and opportunity, just as it presents challenges, particularly in managing the increasing volumes of municipal solid waste,” he said. “Today marks a significant milestone in the journey towards a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable Lagos. This project will not only enhance public health and well-being but also contribute to the circular economy by reducing landfill dependency and promoting recycling."
The Dutch government is backing the project.
Evert Lichtenbelt, managing director of Harvest Waste Consortium said, ““Amsterdam and Lagos share similar challenges in managing population and waste… This MoU has set a good pace for both partners. We made a proposal to manage part of the solid waste of Lagos and in future, we can expand.”
