Jospong Group partners with the Ugandan government to transform the Kiteezi Landfill into an eco-friendly facility, introducing sustainable waste management solutions and creating more than 2,000 jobs.
“We’re committed to having 95 percent of the facility’s staff as Nigerians; no external hires,” said Peter Dagadu, managing director of Waste Landfills, a Jospong Group subsidiary.
Agyepong underscored the dire consequences of inadequate waste management, citing the spread of waterborne diseases and environmental degradation.
Agyepong highlighted that the venture into agriculture was initially propelled by a dedication to making a positive impact rather than purely financial motives.
The initiative comes on the heels of Jospong Group’s recent $1-billion deal with Indian carbon credit developer EKI Energy Services.
In addition to the billion-dollar deal, Agyepong announced the provision of scholarships for 10 individuals interested in pursuing studies on climate change this year.
The facility was funded by the government of Hungary.
