ABSTRACT
This study was
conducted to assess the effective solid waste management as a booster to Nigeria
economy. The researcher using the questionnaire method
collected first hand information from the management and staff of the company
in question.
Interviews
were also granted to some selected management staff. Based on the findings. The researchers were able to draw reasonable
conclusions from where they were able to give useful recommendations which they
strongly imminent that if religiously followed will liberate government owned
companied from imminent decay.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1
GENERAL BACKGROUND TO THE SUBJECT MATTER.
Nations are faced with different
problems, from time to time. Those
problems require solutions comfortable to existence of nations economy.
Disposal of Waste Material in a
major environmental problem especially in urban areas and it needs effective
control. As human populations
increases, the Waste Materials accumulate in every city nationwide, coursing
serious health and environmental problems with such problems in Enugu State
and Nigeria
in general, there is the tendency that there will be little or no positive
change to the economy. For instance, it
will reduce the number of investors who should have come to established
business or company within the country.
But effective control of disposal of solid Waste Material will increase
nations economy. A healthy environment
will attract both local and foreign investors and by the time which industries
have been established though these investors, many people will be employed and
the numbers of unemployment will be reduce nations wide. Though these investor, many people will be
employed and the numbers of unemployment will be reduce nations wide.
Environmental pollution in urban
centers due to solid waste is a matter of centers focus to the whole
international community for developing countries like Nigeria, it is hardly
recognized that sound environment management are form being a luxury is an
important need for sustainable, development, good health, continued existence
making and enjoying life, which will definitely be a boost to the economy. The massive heaps of waste piled around
market places on streets and residential areas attract the focus of many
environmentalists because of the environmental hazard they cause. The waste block access roads and obstruct
traffic flow with attendant economic result.
In-effective waste control and management
problem is reaching alarming proportions everywhere in Nigeria. Nigeria produce large quantities of
solid waste every year especially in the urban areas, where mounting of refuse
are dumpsites at everywhere. These
wastes occupying open spaces in town should have been recycling and decompose
for agricultural purposes which will yield a greater result to the
economy. Another bad or dangerous
effect is that the child born in any Nigeria urban city is unknowingly
condition to accepting as a way of it chin odor, mosquitoes bites Enugu State a
love donates total garbage of 4, 800 cubic tones per day.
Investigation carried out by
researchers within Enugu Metropolis revealed that major drainages are being
used as refuse dumps. The arbitrary
disposing of solid Waste Materials on undeveloped plots of land and other open
space is the order of the day. The
constant disposing of waste in the drainage would soon lead to drains to sit up
with mud and rubbish which would unavoidably causes serious flood during
raining season.
Inadequate solid waste management
is a clear cause for the degradation of the environment in most cities in Nigeria. And it is one of the major factors in the
cause of parasitic diseases primarily caused by proliferation of insects and
rodent vectors. In view health hazards
facing the public, the government and it’s agencies and also the economic
implication of waste management that the focus of the researchers on the need
for effective solid management in Enugu and Nigeria as a nation. This is to complement the efforts of the
Enugu State Environmental Protection Agencies (ENSEPA).
1.2 PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH SUBJECT MATTER
The major
problems which have necessities this research are as follows:
i)
The social economic implications managing from the
lack of proper solid waste management by the existing agencies in our urban
centers, and also the serious health and environmental hazards causes by
uncontrolled dumping of refuse.
ii)
The problems of wasting energy for the production of
secondary raw materials which can be gotten from municipal solid waste and
subsequent conservation of foreign exchange which will promote economic
growth. This project is therefore
geared towards solving the above-mentioned problems by effective solid waste
management.
1.3 PROBLEM THAT THE STUDY WILL BE CONCERNED
WITH.
A critical look at the nature of
the problem highlighted above, we obviously suggest the problem concerned with
the study. They are among others.
i)
To identify the various ways of refuse disposal
thereby developing the most economical profit field method.
ii)
To identify quantity of refuse generation by the
study.
iii)
To articulate an effective solid waste management as a
helping factor for the growth of our sharking economy.
iv)
To identify the socio-economic attributes of people in
relation to the problem of refuse disposal.
v)
Solid wastes and ways of conquering the eliminating or
reduce them.
vi)
To identify the re-usable waste materials and recycle
them with the most economical methods for resale as secondary raw materials.
1.4 IMPORTANCE OF
THE STUDYING THE AREA.
This
project is motivated by the ever ineffective solid waste management in our
urban areas which is reading to an alarming proportion with it’s resultant on
economy. Health and environmental
hazards. The project is basically to
complement the efforts of the already existing Enugu State Environmental
Protection Agencies (ENSEPA) in the execution of various function as it related
to solid waste management.
The project,
it executed will help in on small measure to reduce if not completely eradicate
the mountains of refuse or rubbish dotting all over the area in the Enugu
Metropolis. This will go a long way to
boost the nations economy, improve the health conditions, environmental hazards
as well as other economic and social problems caused by unattractive sights.
Employment
opportunities will be made available either retrenched workers or fresh job
seekers in various capacities. In the
process, the unemployment which is one of outstanding obstacles in the country
presently will reduced.
Even in the
Continental Europe, more organic maters is recycled in composing plants. Recycling of this kind is particularly
important for developing countries like Nigeria
and Ghana,
because of recovery of reusable substance are even more pertinent to use for
economic reason. It is based on
companies: recycle product which will create improved means for secondary raw
materials. This will contribute a great
deals towards the national economy as foreign exchange will be save when
importing raw materials and there will be reduction in the amount of energy
used to manufacture products e.g as much as 15% energy saving the case of glass
production.
