UNILAG Security Task Force Partners with Green Hub to Tackle Plastic Waste

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) Security Task Force has reinforced the institution’s commitment to environmental sustainability by intercepting and handing over recovered plastic waste to the UNILAG Green Hub.

The intercepted plastics, collected from non-affiliated individuals around the Akoka campus, were officially transferred to Mr. Tayo L. Fagbemi, a representative of the UNILAG Green Hub, on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. This initiative aligns with the University’s broader plastic waste collection program, aimed at fostering environmental consciousness while generating revenue through recycling efforts.

The Task Force, led by Mr. O. Oshadipe and Mr. A. Adeniran, was established to reclaim plastic waste and other valuable resources, ensuring the campus remains clean and protected from defacement. The initiative highlights the University’s proactive approach to waste management and sustainability.

Speaking on the development, the Coordinator of the UNILAG Security Unit, Mr. David Omotosho, reaffirmed the Unit’s commitment to safeguarding lives, property, and the overall environment across the institution’s three campuses. He emphasized that by integrating security operations with environmental sustainability, UNILAG is setting a precedent for cleaner and greener university communities.

This collaboration between the Security Unit and the Green Hub underscores UNILAG’s dedication to environmental responsibility, reinforcing its position as a leader in campus sustainability and resource conservation.
