From Lagos, Nigeria to Nuremberg, Germany — The Future of Waste is Intelligent

The Nigerian delegation on Technical Study Tour to Bavaria, Germany on Environmental Technologies, Waste Management, Circular Economy and Sewage/Wastewater Management led by the National President of the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria (Dr. Olugbenga Adebola arrived safely in Lagos over the weekend.

The 10-Day insightful and highly educational Technical Study Tour in Bavaria, Germany,

A major highlight at the Deutsches Museum Nürnberg – Das Zukunftsmuseum was the insighting engaging conversation of Dr. Olugbenga Adebola with AMECA, the world’s most advanced humanoid robot.

They discussed waste & wastewater management, technological innovations, and the role of AI in driving a circular economy. It was fascinating to see how the future museum connects robotics, ethics, and sustainability — The uncommon privileged of chatting with Ameca about waste management & tech innovations confirmed what we know at AWAMN: Technology + Good Governance = Clean Environment – We will achieve it soon in Nigeria through total commitment and sincerity of purpose both from the Government, Operators and the Public.

Germany has shown us that waste is not waste until we waste it. With smart tech, governance, and political will, we can professionalize private integrated waste management in Nigeria for sustained progress.

We look forward to sharing these global insights, the take home for the delegation and key lessons for Nigeria

A special thanks to the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy – for funding the Study Tour on yearly basis, The German Consulate General in Lagos, Nigeria – for granting entry visas to the delegates, Bildungswerk der Bayerischen Wirtschaft (bbw) GmbH – for coordinating/facilitating the program and partnering with the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria (AWAMN) to facilitate/coordinate the Bavarian Technical Study Tour in Nigeria.

To this year’s delegates, I hope you all will put into action practical knowledge and experience gained during this year’s Study Tour in Nuremberg.
