SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT IN OGBETE MAIN MARKET, ENUGU
ABSTRACT
It is always known that cleanliness is next to godliness and health is wealth
Good health is achieved if there is good management of the environment.
The need for a good management of the environment cannot be over emphasized
since there is a continuing environmental decay as a result of increased
urbanization.
Pollution is a major problem of urbanization of which most of the causes have
been identified as industrial combustion, solid waste generation, oil spillage
disposal etc. since these causes are inevitable; there is need for a good
control of them. In this project there will be a critical look at solid waste
management situation with special focus on Ogbete main market
Enugu.
The project, which is required for the attainment of ND programme, will be
divided into five chapters.
The chapter one, which is the introductory part of the project, the statement
of the problem is intended to be those associated with solid waste management
problems, which may include health hazard, ditty environment, blockage of
drainage system etc. In the main study, all those problems will be discussed
intensively.
The purpose of this project which will be treated in the main project will
center on identifying the importance of such management and all the various
strategies of checking excessive solid waste generation and management in the
market in particular and Enugu city in general.
The background and need for the study will focus on past experiences of solid
waste of management and problems associated with it so as to know how to
improve subsequent situation. From all those information one can make some
hypothesis, which can be either positive or negative at the end of he study.
In the chapter two, the project is intended to review some literatures on the
subject matter, which takes the form of books, paper, journals, etc. here there
will be a though review on some related topics such as solid waste management,
policies on solid waste management, generation, classification and importance
of solid waste management. These are expected to be extracted from library and
other sources.
The chapter three will deal mainly on research methodology and design. Here the
sources of data i.e. Primary and secondary sources will be highlighted.
Primary sources have to do with questionnaires, direct interview etc which secondary
sources have to do with information from libraries, books, journals and
magazine etc. Some statistical models such as bar chart, pie chart, and
histogram will be used to present this data in a specific manner.
The chapter four has to do with data presentation and analysis. Here field data
collected are analysis and presented in a format to achieve analytical
conclusion. Statistical analytical methods are to be used here to arrive at
scientifically conclusions.
Chapter five deals on findings of the reseach, recommendation he prefer to
tackle solid waste management problems in the study area and conclusions.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Empirical evidence ranks Nigerian as
one of the countries world that produces high qualities of solid waste. This
phenomenon is predicted on her over increasing population complied with
sophistication in taste and demand for domestic and industrial goods by her
urban population. The uncontrolled generation and disposal of these wastes have
deteriorated our otherwise conducive urban environment. Virtually all cities in
Nigeria are characterized by helps or mounting of solid wastes. The health
implications of this development on our urban streams, health and
socio-economic development leave much to be desired.
The realization of good health, hygiene
and sustainable development in any society is practically impossible when
pollution by way of solid wastes impact strongly on hers socio – economic,
cultural and environmental settings.
Policy markers, leaders of though and
political office holders are daily confronted with endemic problems of what to
do with mounting heaps of solid wastes in our urban environment. Many choice
properties by virtue of their proximity to dump sites have deteriorated
significantly and this has serious negative effect on their rental and capital
values.
The present scenario depicts a state
hopeless as virtually all Agencies of government entrusted with managing the
wastes especially ENSEPA seems to be at cross road on what to
do.
1.1
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS
Solid waste management is a very
difficult task, as we all know. It creates a lot of problems to people which
include:- drainage blockage (flooding), traffic jam, health hazard and
unsightly environment.
In addition, environmental pollution in
urban centers due to solid wastes is a matter of serious concern to the
international community, for pollution in any form interferes with our good
chain, health, comfort, amenities, properties values and living standards.
Today, all businesses are affected by
both environmental changes and government effort towards controlling these
changes.
1.2
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The
main purpose of this study is to access solid waste situation in the citizen of
Nigeria, more especially in Ogbete main market Enugu. More over the research
aims at finding out what should be done in order to reduce the health hazards
and of the increasing menace of solid wastes in our market and
cities.
1.3
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR THE STUDY
Urbanization,
which is the purpose of people’s aggregation in cities, has witnessed
tremendous increase in recent times. Most cities now in Nigeria have grown to
full-scale urban status. The implications of urbanization is manifested in the
areas of unemployment, inadequate social amenities due to undue pressures on
the available ones by teaming population, increase in crime wave,
sophistication and changes in demand and taste complied with high consumption
on industrial and domestic goods leading to large volumes of solid wastes.
The
presence of the solid wastes in our city environment without effective waste
collection and disposal machinery has left most of these cities in solided
state and their implications on the health of urban. It leaves much to be
desired hence the need for this study.
1.4
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION OF THE STUDY
This
study is based ion W. Wilkie, Jodan’s Topical hygiene and sanitation theory,
which state “that the collection and disposal of refuse and waste matter is any
integral part of effective sanitation exercise.
From
the above view and theory, any effective waste management packaged for proper
address of our solid waste hydra headed problems benefit all individual main
market.
1.5
RESEARCH QUESTION
The following
research questions wee formulated to guide the study. These include:
1.
How do you dispose your solid waste?
2.
Are there any waste bins in your shops?
3.
How often is waste evacuated from your day?
4.
Do you sort your waste before disposal?
5.
Are there sufficient equipment and manpower?
6.
Are the storage, collection and transportation in Ogbete main market dumps from
individual shops?
7.
How far are waste dumps from individual shops?
1.6
SCOPE OF STUDY
The
study is therefore restricted to solid waste management in Ogbete main market.
The scope of study is created into two sections:-
a.
Delimitation
b.
Limitation
1.7
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
1.
The major significance of this study is that it will help in no small measure
to maintain efficient and effective waste management system of the study area.
2.
Furthermore, it will help in improving the environmental condition of Ogbete
main market.
3.
The findings of this study will also form the basis for further investigations
in this study area.
4.
Finally, it will help in the prevention, reduction and control of the disease
associated with solid wastes and food poisoning.
1.8
