…As coalition delivers nationwide environmental action across 12 locations

Victoria Uwadoka, lead corporate affairs and sustainability, Nestlé Nigeria, has said that lasting environmental progress depends on collective ownership by Nigerians.

“Lasting environmental progress depends on that sense of collective ownership, and it is often through small actions taken together that meaningful change begins,” Uwadoka stated during a recent stakeholders coordinated action to support environmental stewardship and responsible waste management.

According to Uwadoka, environmental progress is most sustainable when communities take ownership as active participants rather than observers.

“What encouraged us most this year was not only the volume of waste recovered, but the willingness of volunteers, partners and community members to work together towards a shared goal,” she stated.
