As states look for ways of increasing their internally generated revenue, Engr. Andrew Idowu Desmennu, Managing Director/CEO of Andrew D. Idowu and Co. says they should look in the direction of waste management and stop capital flight occasioned by processing waste outside their domains. He says the company has come up with a system whereby people can earn money while disposing their waste and keeping the environment clean. Excerpts: By Ebele Orakpo According to Desmennu, waste, like every product, has its value chain and if properly programmed and harnessed, will lead to increase in internally-generated revenue (IGR) for states and greater income for the citizens. “Until waste becomes a source of income generation for everybody, we will never get out of the quagmire. About 80 per cent of waste cannot decompose because they are chemical-based but every waste can be recycled. We don’t even eat enough so organic waste is just about 30 per cent of waste generated.” Resear
