Abia, Rivers, Ogun, and Adamawa States of the Country, the project seeks to
build on existing initiatives to transition the Nigerian e-waste sector from
majorly informal practices (with its highly polluting methods) to a formal
method that conserves resources and ensures the protection of human life and the
environment. It will facilitate the setup and operationalization of 58
collection centres across the specified States.
