This is why we are excited and grateful for this partnership with FIRST E&P as we are always looking to collaborate with like-minded impact focused organizations to empower youth, create jobs, promote a cleaner, healthier environment with the sole aim of reducing inequalities, creating wealth, increasing inclusion, and reducing poverty. We are confident our partnership with First E&P will achieve all these and more and we are grateful for this opportunity”.

She expressed delight in welcoming the volunteers who turned out to join in the execution of the clean-up exercise of the beaches stating that the beach adoption and clean up exercise, which began with Eleko, and Alpha beaches were part of the programme designed by the foundation to rid Nigeria’s beaches of waste and make them a better environment for tourists while fighting plastic pollution. The programme was also designed to build the capacity of the youth and women in the community on recycling and proper waste management including creating jobs for them.

She expressed gratitude to the community leadership,partners, and volunteers for making the exercise an extremely successful one.
