The delegation from Dangote Sinotruk West Africa Ltd came to explore potential partnerships aimed at enhancing waste management operations in Nasarawa State.

The delegation led Mr. Adeola Adeyoku, presented their range of advanced waste management trucks for potential acquisition by NASWAMSA.
The Director General of NASWAMSA, Hon. Mohammed Bello Isa, emphasized the need for tailored waste management solutions, given the state’s unique topographical and urban development challenges.

The meeting concluded with both parties expressing commitment to deepening engagement and working towards a mutually beneficial partnership that aligns with Nasarawa State’s vision for modern, integrated waste management.
This strategic engagement is part of NASWAMSA’s ongoing efforts to attract reputable private sector actors to transform waste into wealth, improve public health, and promote environmental sustainability across the state.
