Solid waste management and re-use in Maiduguri, Nigeria
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by Mohammed Dauda, O.O. OsitaMaiduguri, like many other cities in Nigeria, rarely has
available information on solid waste, due to principally
financial constraint and people’s attitude towards waste
management. Prior work on waste management in
Maiduguri (1)(2) revealed a number of important information
related to the waste generally and its management
problems in particular. To tackle the problems, a number
of both technical and non-technical solutions were offered
(1)(2), out of which sanitary landfill was proposed as an
Integrated Wastes Management Facility (IWMF) in
Maiduguri (2). However, this study deemed that. As far as
IWMF is concerned, sanitary landfill should be considered
and should be given the lowest priority. The aim of this
study is therefore primarily to determine the sources, rate
of generation, composition and modes of disposal of the
solid wastes within the metropolis. Secondly, the study will
attempt to propose a more reasonable and efficient integrated
wastes management methodology that will capitalize
on efficient resource re-utilization prior to final disposal.
