The foundation’s leader, Dr. Cynthia Amaka Obiorah, emphasized the importance of individual actions in achieving the goal of ending plastic pollution during the commemoration of World Environment Day 2025. She encouraged students to adopt the 5 Rs of waste management and introduced a new dimension, the 6th R, “Regenerate wealth” through plastic regeneration.

“The waste-to-wealth initiative offers a unique opportunity for students to contribute to environmental sustainability while creating economic value,” Dr. Obiorah stated. She warned about the dangers of plastic pollution, highlighting its devastating impact on human health and the environment.

At Bingham University, Dr. Desmond Okocha emphasized the importance of prioritizing environmental health, saying, “There is a need for us to value the environment and protect it.” Dr. James Bwala highlighted the benefits of tree planting in climate regulation, biodiversity support, and community well-being.

At Kenule Beeson Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic, Dr. Michael Saro pledged the institution’s commitment to support the waste-to-wealth initiative, emphasizing the need for collective action. The President of Junior Chamber International, Green Doosia, stressed collective responsibility for environmental conservation, saying, “We all own the environment; if we abuse it, it’s to our detriment.”
