LAGOS – A Waste Consultant to the Delta Government, Mr. Keluo Chukwuogo, has appealed to governments at all levels to engage the services of local waste managers instead of expatriates in waste disposal.
Chukwuogo, who made the call during an interview with newsmen in Lagos said this would assist in creating more jobs in the country.
“Indigenous waste managers understand the uniqueness of waste generated by the people and are in a better position to manage them.
“All the equipment we use in Delta are locally made by our own engineers.
“We have the manpower in the sector but unfortunately some people prefer to engage the services of expatriates.
“If more indigenous waste mangers are engaged there will be technological growth, employment opportunities and capital retention,’’ the consultant said.
