Lagos Business School 2025 Leadership Programme for Sustainable Waste Management (LP-SWM)

Published: 13 May 2025

Globally, the waste management industry is increasingly moving from a conventional approach to sustainable and innovative ways of managing waste. With this approach, the industry is becoming a lucrative and revolutionary industry in many countries where millionaires are currently being made. However, in Nigeria, there is a dearth of professional training programmes on sustainable and innovative waste management to facilitate the growth of the industry.

The Programme is designed for youths (within the age bracket of 18 to 40 years) working in the waste management and facility management industry. This demographic of participants are looking to build business and leadership skills to effectively manage the peculiar technicalities and the business aspects (finance, technology and human resources) in the sector. The programme should also facilitate the entry of informal youth-led waste management businesses into the formal economy in a manner that improves their business performance growth and expands their environmental protection impact.
