Progress report for "Education and awareness" Achievement at a glance We have been engaging with governments at all levels in Nigeria and have been able to collaborate with several NGOs. The Centre has so far collaborated with the following partners and affiliates: The University of Benin; Kyrus Recycling Company; JCI Edo Bronze; JCI University of Benin, Benion City; Edo State Ministry of Environment and Sustainability; and Yali Network Edo. Through these partnerships, we have carried our community clean ups in riverine areas and cities, tidying up SDG 14 with flooding, both of which have a lot to do with plastic wastes. We have also taken the message to children in secondary schools and have reached thousands of studies, to whom we give educational materials bearing sustainability messages. A particular secondary school decided to set up an environmental club as a result of our efforts. This outreach is still ongoing. We have continued to strengthen our engagements with ECOWAS, schools, communities and institutions of government, and we believe we have made a lot of impact. Details of these engagements in pictures and videos are on our website and social media pages. We currently are prosecuting a matter relating to claimate change at the ECOWAS Court of Justice. The subject-matter includes gas flaring off shore. Challenges faced in implementation We have faced funding challenges. However the most formidable of the challenges we faced is the lack of proper waste disposal facilities, and even where they exists, there are no recycling facilities, as a result both single use plastics and recyclables either end up in the drainage systems where they are washed into the rivers or end up in dumpsites that are not propeerly managed only to be washed into the streets again. Neither the governments nor companies who package their products in plastics have demonstarted real commitments towards education and provision of facilities. Next Steps Amos Enabulele Beneficiaries Students, riverine communities and the Nigerian society at large has benefitted from our efforts Actions We have been educating individuals on the dangers of plastic nwaste to the ocean and how damage to the ocean comes back to hurt.
