Project Abstract
Solid waste management is a critical issue in urban centers globally, including Nigeria. The rapid urbanization and population growth in Nigeria have led to an increase in solid waste generation, posing significant challenges to the environment and public health. This study aims to investigate the impact of solid wastes in urban centers in Nigeria, focusing on major cities such as Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt. The research will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data on waste generation rates, composition, and disposal practices with qualitative data from interviews and observations. The study will assess the current solid waste management practices in urban centers, including collection, transportation, disposal, and recycling efforts. It will also examine the environmental and health implications of improper waste management, such as air and water pollution, disease transmission, and habitat destruction. Furthermore, the research will explore the socio-economic factors influencing waste generation and management in urban areas, including population density, income levels, and education. It will also investigate the role of government policies and regulations in shaping solid waste management practices and infrastructure development. The study aims to provide insights into the challenges and opportunities for improving solid waste management in Nigerian urban centers. The findings of this research will contribute to the existing knowledge on solid waste management in urban areas and provide recommendations for policymakers, urban planners, and environmental agencies. By understanding the impact of solid wastes in urban centers, stakeholders can develop effective strategies for waste reduction, recycling promotion, and sustainable waste management practices. Ultimately, this study seeks to raise awareness about the importance of proper waste management and its implications for environmental sustainability and public health in Nigeria.
