NUESA EXCLUSIVE: OUR ENVIRONMENT OUR PRIDE 1.0

The 200 level of Guidance and counselling department has called on all students to do their part in keeping our school environment clean and habitable.

"All students have the responsibility to ensure that our environment is clean, green and habitable. Poor waste management poses health and environmental risks. Everyone can do something to attain clean-living spaces.”

They made this call, as they are set to launch the Clean up;it begins with me campaign on Monday the 6th of November 2023.

This epitomizes the Our Environment;Our pride 1.0 , a ground-breaking class initiative that seeks to mobilise all departments in the University of Abuja to become more environmentally conscious, leading to a deal for nature.

The Our Environment;Our Pride 1.0 seeks to change students attitudes, behaviours towards responsible management of waste, and keeping our leaening environment clean, green and safe.

“This is a clarion call to all departments in this university to do their part to contribute to Our Environment;Our Pride. Where there is litter, students are urged to work together to clear litter and rubble that threatens our efforts to build a healthy University of Abuja.”

Illegal dumping and littering are some of the most common problems in the school and affect all faculty's alike.

“The prevalence of ineffective waste management practices is being witnessed in many all faculty's.  This trend, unfortunately, affects the well-being of our university, as it has indeed resulted in the mushrooming of pockets of illegal dumping and littering sites. 

More emphasis is required to ensure that students are mobilized to take a firm position against such activities in their respective faculty's vis-à-vis, let everyone join us to clean up our environment, because it begins with us.
