WHO WE ARE?
We carefully observed a social order which has so deeply eaten into the society. What is this social
order? It is the act of littering. Sure it does not sound alarming, yet it is so amazing that the
attendant effects are posing serious concerns to everyone. Again the predominant attitude within
our locality is the usual blame-game and thereafter do-nothing. Following from our
recommendations vis-a`-vis the Problem Statement, we chose to act on one of the numerous
windows opened to addressing the identified problem. The recommendation amongst others
include: NGOs to drive the movement to STOP LITTERING OUR STREETS; more private sector
investors are encouraged to look in the way of waste management; Companies should incorporate
public waste management in their CSR model.
Essentially, we do not want to continue to be a part of the bandwagon while the problem remains.
We however, decided to break-free from the hold of do-nothing and to confront the problem heads-
on by championing the movement and campaign to Stop Littering Our Streets. By 24 th April, 2018, we
got duly certified by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Nigeria, to legally carry out this
campaign to the public domain, as a Not-for –profit, Voluntary and Non-Governmental Organisation
(NGO).
