The National Inland Waterways Authority has engaged a multi‑sectoral indigenous environmental company, PartsCentral Limited, to provide strategic oversight and implementation support for a comprehensive clean‑up initiative designed to restore the nation’s waterways and enhance their economic potential.
NIWA, in a statement on Sunday obtained by The PUNCH, explained that the project, which was initiated during the administration of the immediate past Managing Director of NIWA, Bola Oyebamiji, represents a major step towards achieving a cleaner, safer and more investment‑friendly inland waterways ecosystem in Nigeria.
The statement emphasised that the initiative is expected to tackle the persistent problems of waste pollution, “indiscriminate dumping of refuse, oil spillage and environmental degradation across Nigeria’s vast inland waterways through a structured and sustainable approach.”
According to the statement, the project will deliberately identify major sources of pollution, “facilitate systematic waste removal, and promote innovative waste‑to‑wealth solutions capable of creating employment opportunities for communities situated along the waterways.”
