CLI restates commitment to healthier, safer and cleaner Lagos
The Cleaner Lagos Initiative (CLI) has restated commitment
to a healthier, safer and cleaner Lagos with the session with stakeholders
hosted in Ikeja, stressing government determination to promote recycling,
reports NaijaAgroNet.
This, NaijaAgroNet
gathered, was top on the agenda of the stakeholders meet, where CLI explained
the plans and technicalities outlined by the Lagos State Government to
effectively manage solid waste in the state, private enterprises and
environmentalists in attendance.
Speaking at the forum, the Managing Director of SWM
Solutions, Mrs. Tolagbe Martins told participants that the interactive forum provided
an opportunity for CLI to shed light on several issues that were misunderstood
by many Lagosians, while it also enabled the stakeholders to understand the
practical approach as well as factors they could contribute to the success of
the initiative.
According to her, the forum helped on explaining the roles
played by the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), newly established
agency; Public Utility Monitoring Assurance Unit (PUMAU) and that of
Visionscape, the Waste Collection Operator assigned by the state to collect
residential waste.
Mrs Martins explained that LAWMA had been repositioned to
focus majorly on regulation of Waste Collection Operators, while PUMAU would
coordinate the billing, revenue collection and enforcement of the Public
Utility Levy (PUL), a rate charged by government from each property/house for
collection and disposal of their waste. This rate is expected to replace the
monthly bill charged by PSP operators, now referred to as Waste Collection
Operators (WCOs).
Further, she said the issue of marine waste, which is also a
major concern of the state government is receiving attention as there is strategies
for integrating same into the long-term plan.
"The Cleaner Lagos Initiative is mainly funded by the
Trust Fund through the PUL collected, so the cooperation and support of
Lagosians and residents in the state will go a long way to help the state
government in achieving a healthier and safer environment for all," she
added.
Some of the stakeholders at the session included Olawale
Adebiyi, CEO of Wecyclers; Chioma Ukonu, Cofounder/COO, Recycle Points; Felix
Abayomi, Founder/CEO, Wildlife Conservation and Protection Initiative; Olayinka
Jones, Development Consultant, Community Conservation & Development
Initiative (CCDI).
Reacting to some queries, by the stakeholders on the
immediate action of the government in dealing with heaps of waste dotting
different parts of Lagos, Mrs. Martins explained that Visionscape has been
carrying out regular deep clean activities across the state in a bid to
drastically reduce waste in black spot areas that were dumped indiscriminately
around the city, while also ensuring that the waste bins located in areas of
the state are promptly emptied.

Nestle reiterates commitment with Maggi making difference towards 2020
The Nestlé Central and West Africa has
reiterated commitments towards 2020 to help people cook the difference with
Maggi, reports NaijaAgroNet.
The Business Executive Officer Culinary
for Nestlé Central and West Africa, Mr. Dominique Allier, gave this
reaffirmation on the company’s commitment at the recent Nutrition Forum in Dakar and
attended by stakeholders from across West and Central Africa.
He
disclosed that the iconic Maggi brand is on a mission to support home cooks
with healthier and tastier choices, by simplifying ingredients lists, reducing
salt and increasing micronutrient fortification.
“With
4600 food portions around the world prepared every second with Maggi, Nestle
believes that these changes will have a positive impact,” he said.
He
also pointed out that the company is committed to reshaping Maggi’s products to
emphasize the use of familiar and common ingredients that people know and have
at home.
‘’Consumer expectations are changing,
they want products with common ingredients they know, minimal
processing, natural or organic and ideally locally produced. Our company
has a role to play in contributing to the needs of the society,’’ Allier
said.
He
stressed that Maggi is reorganizing its supply chain to privilege local
sourcing of ingredients; even as a careful selection of each ingredient will
uphold the quality of Maggi products and meet the homemade cooking standards of
consumers around the world: trusted, tasty and good for consumers.
Nestlé is also continuing to lower salt in
the Maggi range. This will contribute to help people in their efforts towards
reducing their salt intake and meeting WHO recommendations on reducing risks
associated with high blood pressure.
Fortification is a means Maggi uses to
help prevent malnutrition in countries where daily consumption of essential
micronutrients is lacking. In 2016, Nestlé provided 65 billion of fortified
servings in Central and West Africa out of which Maggi delivered over 100
million iron fortified cubes daily to 78 million households in Central and West
Africa.
He explained that in Central and West
Africa, fortified Maggi stock cubes and other products are known as a staple
for many households, Maggi “Simply Good” summarises the commitments of the
iconic brand to help cook the difference.
In addition, to the strong commitments on
improving ingredients, he said, Nestlé in Central and West Africa will
highlight nutritional challenges by engaging with government authorities, civil
society and consumers.

Conde urges improved fisheries governance in Africa, reiterates AU commitment
The President of the Republic of Guinea, Professor
Alpha Conde, has urged for improved fisheries governance on the continent of
Africa, reiterating African Union (AU) commitment to conducive environment,
reports NaijaAgroNet.
Conde in a keynote address at the 32nd Session of
the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) Committee on Fisheries (COFI) held
recently in Rome, declared that his initiatives as champion will reinforce the
efforts already undertaken by the African Union in creating an environment
conducive to dialogue on African development issues.
Conde who also doubles as the NEPAD Agency’s
Fisheries and Aquaculture Champion, implored African Ambassadors and Permanent
Representatives to the United Nations agencies based in Rome to drum support
for continuous improvement in the governance of the fisheries sector in Africa.
President Conde further committed himself to support
the implementation of reforms in the fisheries sector for effective governance
of this important sector towards Africa’s development.
The contribution of fisheries to national economies
in Africa is quite significant. Revenues
amount to nearly $24 billion per year, representing 1.26 per cent of the
continent’s GDP and 6.02 per cent of its agricultural GDP. Moreover, the sector provides more than 12
million people with direct employment. Women account for a quarter of the
workforce in the sector and are also active in fish processing.
FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva, in his
remarks, emphasised that fisheries and aquaculture are not only important for
eradication of poverty and hunger, but are also key to improving nutrition.
Challenges, he said, exist in the fisheries and
aquaculture sectors that require urgent action, stressing that among them are
the over-exploitation of fishery resources, the growing expansion of
international demand for fish to which is added the lack of capacity of African
institutions for adequate management of fisheries resources on the
continent.
Mr. Jose further said that the result of this is
that Africa generally has the lowest fish consumption, estimated at 9 kg per
capita, which represents less than half of the world average of 21 kg. The per capita consumption is expected to
decline further due to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.
NaijaAgroNet, to counter the challenges of fishing
on the continent, African Heads of State and Government adopted a policy
framework and a fisheries and aquaculture reform strategy in July 2014 in
Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, with the aim of improving governance of the sector
for the benefit of its people.
In addition African countries including Benin,
Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles, Somalia, South Africa and Sudan are party to
FAO’s international accord aimed at stamping out illegal fishing which came
into effect in June 2016. The Agreement
on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and
Unregulated Fishing (PSMA) is the world's first illegal fishing treaty.
Mr. Jose Graziano da Silva encouraged other
countries to also be party to this agreement as soon as possible. “The
agreement must be used with other tools in order to attain sustainable and
legal fisheries. Generations to come will recognise the importance of this
achievement,” he said.

... Linking agrobiz, sustainable environs, people & technology
Africa’s Development Partners (DP) have reiterated
commitment to the growth of the continent with regards to agriculture, rural
development, water and environment, reports NaijaAgroNet.
Making this disclosure at the inaugural conference of the
Specialised Technical Committee (STC) on Agriculture, Rural Development, Water
and Environment, the representative of the chairman of the European Union (EU)
Development Partners Task Team, Ms Anna Burylo, said they are determined to
support the aspirational goals set by the African Heads of State in the Malabo
Declaration.
“… Our determination to work with you all, our African
partners in the spirit of alignment, harmonization, transparency and coordination,”
she said.
According to Ms Burylo who heads operations at EU delegation
to AU, the inauguration of this Specialised Technical Committee (STC)
reconfirms DP support and the place of Agriculture, Rural Development, Water
and Environment in the global agenda.
EU Chairman reiterated that both at the global and African
levels, DPs are committed to supporting the Agriculture, Rural Development,
Water and Environment sector.
“The idea of a Global Partnership for Agriculture, Food
Security and Nutrition emerged back in 2008 in response to the food crisis
placing such issues at the top of the international agenda,” she said.
For her, these partnerships have paved the way for
initiatives such as L’Aquila, GAFSP, PARM or New Alliance ensued as well as
voluntary guidelines on responsible governance of tenure of land, fisheries and
forests; G20 food security and nutrition framework or voluntary principles for
responsible investment in agriculture and food systems.
She pointed out that the recent endorsement of 2014 Malabo
Declaration shows clearly articulated commitments on eradicating hunger,
halving poverty, boosting intra-Africa trae and enhancing the resilience of
production systems and livelihoods to climate change and other shocks,
therefore, is a call to action for impact and sustaining the CAADP momentum.
