The Lagos State Government has launched a Waste-to-Value collection hub as part of the Charity Begins At Home 2.0 initiative to promote a circular economy and sustainability. The initiative aims to encourage civil servants to adopt sustainable practices and become change agents in the state’s economic transformation. At the launch event, the Head of Service, Olabode Agoro, emphasized that embracing the initiative is not just a policy directive, but a moral, economic, and strategic imperative for empowerment and sustainable financial inclusion. He challenged civil servants to play active roles in promoting green policies and adopting waste valorization models to preserve the environment for future generations. The Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Ope George, urged public servants to remain engaged and committed to the initiative, as it requires collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability. The Special Adviser on Climate Change and Circular Economy, Titi Oshodi, noted that engaging the civil service workforce can inspire sustainable practices and drive environmental sustainability. The initiative aims to promote waste valorization and provide empowerment opportunities for members of staff.
