Over 9,000 Kilograms of Waste Cleared from Beaches

Through its Beach Adoption Programme, the Foundation recently led a major cleanup at Elegushi Beach. Since 2021, it has adopted six beaches, Alpha, Eleko, Lafiaji, Iwerekun, Okun Ajah, and Elegushi.

Volunteers and community leaders have removed over 9,000 kilograms of waste so far. This includes more than 4,800 kilograms of recyclables. The Foundation also trains local residents to lead future cleanups and build a culture of environmental care.

“Our work on the beaches is not symbolic,” said Olapeju Ibekwe, CEO of Sterling One Foundation. “Each cleanup restores the environment and builds trust within coastal communities.”

In July, the Foundation will also co-convene the Africa Social Impact Summit in Lagos. The summit, scheduled for July 10 and 11, will focus on solutions for climate resilience and bold policy reforms.

“Plastic pollution isn’t just a threat, it’s an untapped opportunity,” Ibekwe said. “We must act fast and see beyond the problem. If we invest wisely, we can turn plastic waste into jobs and innovation, especially for young people.”
