“…Inadequate and unclean energy consumption has been a major problem in Nigeria, which for decades has continued to grapple with significant energy issues (Bamisile et al 2020;Elum and Mjimba, 2020;Owebor et al 2021). Notwithstanding the huge and diverse energy deposits in the country and several investments made over time in the sector, the efforts have yielded little progress in the country's power sector (Dimnwobi et al, 2017;Nwokoye et al, 2017).…”

Barriers and Challenges to Waste Management Hindering the Circular Economy in Sub-Saharan Africa

2022

More and more, waste generated in most parts of the Western world has been recycled and transformed into new circularity products. However, managing waste within Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), such as in Ghana, has become a challenge due to the continued practice of the old traditional linear waste economy, that is, the taking, making and disposing methods of management, representing a threat to global environmental sustainability. Despite the need to revise current linear waste management (WM) in order to turn to the circular economy (CE) model, which consists of the concept of renew, remake and share, to advance sustainable development, a number of factors restrict the CE realization in practice, specifically in developing countries. An integrative methodology was used in this article to identify some of the challenges that hinder the achievement of CE in SSA countries. The results revealed the absence of educational programs and public awareness of waste management activities. The findings also highlight the lack of political will, funding and national policies on WM as some of the most significant issues. The study contributes to further encouraging policymakers and policy implementers, entrepreneurs and relevant interested groups to commit resources to sustainable WM services aiming to advancing CE in SSA countries.

“…Despite these policy initiatives, Nigeria still faces significant challenges in its electricity sector, including inadequate infrastructure, high energy losses, and low levels of access to electricity in rural areas. The government continues to work towards addressing these challenges and achieving its energy goals [1], [5], [24].…”

“…Despite being a major oil-producing country, Nigeria faces significant electricity challenges, with chronic power shortages, inadequate infrastructure, and electricity tariffs that are not cost reflective. These challenges contributed to hindering economic growth and development and led to a proliferation of alternative energy sources, such as diesel generators [1].…”

Like many developing nations, Nigeria has experienced prolonged electricity supply shortages for decades. As a result, the government has implemented various policies and reforms to address the issue, including privatisation, unbundling, and tariff adjustments. This paper critically reviews Nigeria's electricity policies, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. The study adopts a mixed-method approach, combining a review of relevant literature, official documents, and interviews with experts in the field. The findings suggest that while some policies have had positive impacts, others have failed to address critical challenges in the sector.Although progress has been made in improving electricity access and supply, much remains to ensure a sustainable and reliable electricity supply in Nigeria. The paper concludes by highlighting some key policy recommendations that could help overcome the sector's challenges.
