Rite Foods Clears 40 Tons of Plastic Waste in Lagos Via Riteonthebeach Project businesspost.ng/general/rite-f…

@sbmintelligence Nigeria’s bones are laid bare. It hurts. It shocks. But maybe it’s the first step to healing. Do you think these reforms are medicine or poison? @StearsData @sbmintelligence @BD_Africa @BusinessDayNg @OgbeniDipo @asemota #Nigeria #Economy 🔁 RT & add your take.

@sbmintelligence It feels like we’re treading water as lifeguards blast us with hoses… while paradise glitters on the horizon. Once again “what the heliantte? what the hell he on? what the Helly Berry” 😭😭😭

Nigeria’s economy is drowning. Subsidies gone. The naira gutted. Middle class hollowed out. But maybe, just maybe—these painful reforms are the medicine we’ve avoided for decades. 🧵 “Bones Laid Bare”, walk with me.

As part of our ongoing partnership with @riteonthebeach on the #PlasticFreeJulyLagos campaign, my team joined forces with theirs to take the message directly to the people at Ikeja City Mall. Together, we engaged shoppers on the importance of plastic reduction and distributed sorting bags to encourage proper separation of recyclable plastics at the source. We initially set out to distribute 300 plastic sorting bags; but by the end of the day, we had shared about 700! This alone is proof that people are not just listening, they are also ready to act. Initiatives like this are a powerful reminder that real change does not only happen online - it happens in the streets, in our markets, and in our everyday interactions. The goal was never to clean the city in a single day, it is to spark a real movement - one that inspires a new mindset and culture around waste, one community at a time. Beyond the digital campaigns, it is these personal, on-the-ground efforts that will drive the culture shift we need toward environmental responsibility and a cleaner, healthier Lagos for all. @akintundedisu #OreoluwaFinnih #PlasticFreeJulyLagos #RiteOnTheBeach #LagosSUPBan #SDG13 #ClimateAction #PlasticFreeLagos

This is such an interesting take. mailchi.mp/cef3a769c717/t…

Single-use plastics (SUPs) continue to pose a serious threat to our environment due to their non-biodegradable nature and the long-term damage they inflict on our land, waterways, and overall quality of life. This is why the state’s enforcement of the SUP ban, though temporarily inconvenient, is both necessary and visionary; it is a bold step toward cleaner streets, healthier communities, and a more sustainable future for us all. In line with this mission, my office is proud to partner with @riteonthebeach on the #PlasticFreeJulyLagos campaign - a grassroots movement working to reduce the amount of plastic entering the waste stream. Through encouraged participation with local communities and schools across the state, the campaign will promote separation at source by distributing plastic bags for sorting recyclable plastics. With this hands-on approach, the hope is to help young people and everyday citizens build a culture of environmental responsibility from the ground up. Led by Mr. @akintundedisu, the team behind the campaign is not only working to curb the instream of new plastic waste, but also addressing the vast legacy waste that has accumulated over time. Their goal is clear and it is to speed up behavioral change, support scalable recycling systems, and help keep Lagos clean through collaborative effort. As I shared during their visit to my office, we are proud to support this mission, and we invite more partners, innovators, and everyday Lagosians to join us in building a plastic-free city. To participate in the campaign, you may reach out to @riteonthebeach to request for the bags. Let us do this together, people, for the sake of our environment, our economy, and our future. #OreoluwaFinnih #PlasticFreeJuly #RiteOnTheBeach #LagosSUPBan #SDG13 #ClimateAction #PlasticFreeLagos
