Oyo Plastic Drive – For Nature & Future

Ending Plastic Pollution In Oyo State, One Bottle at a Time

Collaborators

Oyo State Ministry of Environment & Natural Resources

Everywhere you look—on the streets, in the markets, even in our rivers—plastic waste is piling up. It clogs our drainage systems, causes flooding, pollutes our waterways, and threatens the health of our communities.

We all see these things and sometimes even complain about them. Some are genuinely concerned about the menace it has become, but sadly, not much is being done about it.

But what if we told you that YOU can be part of the solution? **What if, together, we could turn this crisis into an opportunity for change?

The Oyo Plastic Drive 2025 is not just a campaign—it’s a movement! Powered by For Nature and Future Eco-Green Initiative (FONAFEGI) in collaboration with the Oyo State Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, we’re rallying individuals, businesses, and communities across all 11 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ibadan to take action.

Scale of the Problem

High Plastic Consumption: Nigeria is a major consumer of plastic, contributing significantly to global plastic pollution.

Annual Plastic Waste: The country generates an estimated 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually.

Low Recycling Rates: Less than 12% of plastic waste is recycled in Nigeria.

Mismanaged Waste: A significant portion of plastic waste is mismanaged, ending up in landfills, waterways, and the ocean.

Global Ranking: Nigeria is ranked among the top ten global plastic waste polluters.

The Mission: 5 Million Bottles in 30 Days!

From June 5 – July 4, 2025, we’re on a mission to collect 5 million plastic bottles, mobilize 10,000+ volunteers, and educate thousands of residents, schools, and businesses on sustainable waste management.

This isn’t just about cleaning up—it’s about changing behaviors, driving policy action, and building a plastic-free future for Oyo State.

Why This Matters

Plastic Pollution is a Global Crisis

Did you know? More than 50% of improperly disposed waste in Ibadan is plastic! These plastics don’t just disappear. They:

Block drainages, causing floods during heavy rains.
Pollute rivers like Ogunpa & Ona, endangering marine life.
Harm public health, as burning plastic releases toxic fumes.
Affect livelihoods, making our city less attractive for business and tourism.

This is more than an eyesore—it’s a crisis. And we can’t afford to ignore it.
