IN a move at turning wastes into wealth, a German company, W. Hartung, on Wednesday presented to the Abia State Governor Theodore Orji a proposal on recycling of wastes into cars, bicycles, fertiliser among others.

Presenting the proposal to Orji, who represented by his Chief of Staff, Mr. Cosmas Ndukwe, at the Government House, Umuahia, the firm’s Managing Director, Michael Struve, said the planned recycling plant would turn bottles into T-shirts, beverage cans into bicycles, tins into cars, some domestic wastes into fertiliser, old tyres into fuel, among others.

He added that the plant would also provide jobs for Abia people.

He said: “The plant will also employ Abia people and assist in keeping the environment clean. For us, waste is wealth and waste is gold. If we are granted the operational license, our company would dismantle and recycle all car scraps littered across the state at no cost and ship them back to Germany for industrial use”.

Responding, Ndukwe reiterated Abia government’s policy to partner with genuine investors in the state, which he described as investor-friendly with various investment opportunities.

Wislet: WHICH CELEBRATION??

Did you read that at all?

THEY WILL SHIP ALL THE COLLECTED USED ITEMS BACK TO GERMANY FOR THEIR OWN INDUSTRIES TO RECYCLE.

THEN I GUESS THE EMPLOYMENT THEY MEAN FOR ABIANS IS JUST LABOUR (MAN POWER) TO HELP COLLECT THOSE ITEMS.

So, Abians will only be paid for going to the smelliest of places (cos I can't see the white men soiling their hands as such) to collect the wastes anh hand them right over to the company?

WHY CAN'T THE COMPANY ESTABLISH IN ABIA STATE, EMPLOY THE YOUTHS AND TEACH THEM HOW TO RECYCLE?

Talk about a Business suggestion.


unbelievable.

I think you yourself need to read in between the lines. What is your problem with establishing a recycle factory in Abia. There's one thing that you disgruntled critics of Abia should take note, the state governor is determined to take the state to a greater height, that's why you see project work going on in the state like never before. Also for your information, the plant will be sited in Abia. Abia youths of course will be gainfully employed. If the Oyibo man feel say the scrap waste will be transported abroad, fine. At least revenue will be made from its sale

ironben: #thinking# is this really a win-win situation?? D oyinbo takes out ur garbage, recycle it and ships it to his country free of charge where he will then use it and produce 'new cars'..then a decade or more later, same car gets sold & makes its way into naija as a tokunbo and then the whole process starts all over again.. But like i hinted earlier, it's just my line of thought.

slimdiggi: The waste alone in aba is enuf to declare a state of emergency

berem: T.A. Orji needs to recycle himself too! Dat guy is a dumba$$!!worst governor as long as abia state is concerned.SMH
