“…About 96% of the total respondents were above 18years old which is the suitable age capable of giving the needed data for the study. This is supported by the work of Olorunfemi (2009) where he inferred that since practically all the respondents were adults they could talk on behalf of their relatives. This validated the data received from the respondents.…”

Information on practices used by households in disposing waste is crucial for an effective management of household plastics wastes. The research was aimed to study the Mode of disposal of household plastic wastes and awareness on waste management in Kaduna Metropolis, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Exactly 200-households from 10 localities were investigated using a stratified random sampling (SRS) techniques. Structured close-ended questionnaire and interviews were used to collect data from 200 households and analyzed using XRealStats Package for Excel version 7.8 and Microsoft Excel. The result of the study showed that the residents of Kaduna Metropolis usually adopt an informal mode of disposing their waste. About 33% of waste is disposed by wheel-barrow boys, other methods include open-dumping (26%), collection by Government agencies (16%), Private agencies (12%), Burning (6%), Open-drain (5%) and by Burying (2%). The most educated members of the study group practice a proper method of waste disposal (Chi-square test of independence reveals; X 2 (30, N = 42) = 138.27, p < .001). The causes of indiscriminate waste disposal according to the residents are high cost of waste collection services (32%), distance to dumping site (26.5%), absence of dumping site (13%), irregular waste collection (12.5%), lack of waste management services (8.5%), lack of waste bin (4%) and 3.5% encounter no challenge. There was a high level of awareness (77%) among the residents. Improper household plastic waste disposal contributes to disease occurrence. The outcome of this research will inform policymaker on the state of the communities' mode of plastic waste disposal; helps in designing an effective management strategy and guide educational campaigns and behavioral interventions to promote responsible waste management practices among the public.

“…Numerous valuation studies across sectors including water, healthcare, waste management, and environmental management in Nigeria (Adepoju & Omonona, 2009;Ataguba, Ichoku, & Fonta, 2008;Adebo & Ajewole, 2012;Longe, Longe, & Ukpebor, 2009;Olorunfemi, 2009;Rahji & Oloruntoba, 2009;Olajuyigbe & Fasakin, 2010;Whittington, Lauria, & Mu, 1989, 1991Abu, Taangahar, & Ekpebu, 2011 In essence, while Ugulu and Aigbavboa (2019) contribute to understanding urban WTP for solar photovoltaic systems, there's an urgent need to explore WTP within Nigeria's off-grid, rural communities. This study aims to address this gap, focusing on electricity service valuation in these underserved areas.…”

This study employs a mixed-methods research approach to scrutinize the varied determinants influencing the willingness of off-grid rural households in Kwara State, Nigeria, to adopt Solar Home Systems (SHS). Integrating quantitative survey data from 400 households, qualitative findings derived from semi-structured interviews, and secondary data, the research provides a robust empirical framework. Through the application of Interval Regression and Tobit models, the analysis pinpoints income and education as key positive drivers towards SHS adoption, yet reveals a contrasting gender divide. Interestingly, a high level of satisfaction with the current energy provision emerges as a stumbling block to SHS acceptance. The research further identifies a distinct trend: households located further away from the grid exhibit a heightened propensity to pay for SHS, signifying a higher value attribution to SHS in these off-grid areas. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions that encapsulate the diverse characteristics of households to ensure successful SHS promotion. The comprehensive insights garnered from this study offer indispensable guidance for policymakers and energy providers, bolstering strategic efforts to enhance SHS uptake and ultimately contributing to Nigeria's shift towards a more sustainable energy future.
