About Event

This event is a personal CDS Project Organized by WTE Team Members, solely led by OLAOLUWA DOLAPO IDOWU in collaboration with RACK CENTRE, whose commitment to environmental sustainability and driving positive change aligns perfectly with our event's mission.
Olaoluwa Dolapo Idowu himself and other like minded individuals is dedicated to sustainable community development with a focus on environmental conservation and renewable energy. We propose an initiative to sensitize and educate on the dangers of the waste at the Ojota dump site and the proposed move to convert it into waste to energy facility, thereby addressing both environmental sanitation, sustainability and energy challenges faced by the community.

Nysc logo

The NYSC scheme was created in a bid to reconstruct, reconcile and rebuild the country after the Nigerian Civil war. The unfortunate antecedents in our national history gave impetus to the establishment of the National Youth Service Corps by decree No.24 of 22nd May 1973 which stated that the NYSC is being established "with a view to the proper encouragement and development of common ties among the youths of Nigeria and the promotion of national unity". As a developing country, Nigeria is further plagued by the problems attendant upon a condition of under development, namely; poverty. mass illiteracy, acute shortage of high skilled manpower (coupled with most uneven distribution of the skilled people that are available), woefully inadequate socioeconomic infrastructural facilities, housing.
