VIDEO SUMMARY Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, generates over 400 tons of solid waste every single day—that is 150,000 tons annually. But what if this massive environmental challenge was actually a hidden goldmine?

In this episode of Infrastructure In Sight, we take you deep inside the Gosa Landfill to reveal how mountains of trash can be transformed into three valuable resources: organic fertilizer, recycled plastic products, and—most surprisingly—electricity.

We analyze the potential of a Circular Economy in Nigeria, exploring how organic waste can revolutionize agriculture through composting, and how the proposed waste-to-energy plant (in partnership with Casemate Investment Limited) could use biogas and thermal conversion to supply up to 8% of Abuja's power needs. We also compare Nigeria’s potential against global leaders like Sweden, which powers 780,000 households using waste.

Join us as we drive from the city center to the outskirts to uncover the journey from dumps to development.
