Prof Maliki further called for an increase in recycling efforts in the country to reduce the impact of harmful chemicals and the emission of greenhouse gases to help tackle climate change.

“Recycling is the best way to preserve impact on our natural system. Nigerians need to be enlightened on the need for proper waste management and the benefits of recycling,” she said.

Prof. Maliki who is also the Dean, Students Affairs, noted that waste management was a major problem that had significantly affected a number of people in the country, adding that the way and manner we generate waste determines the way it should be tackled.
