Bike Revolution As Medium To End Plastic Waste Menace

Poor transport and waste management systems are signals of non visionary urban planning process, common with developing economies like Nigeria. This problems have become more prominent in Nigeria as the world witness rapid urbanizations. Headache of commuters is undesirable, just as the alarming death rate from communicable diseases still persist, owing to unstructured management of household solid waste; mainly plastic. The unfortunate reality is that University campuses in Nigeria which hosts more than 20,000 residents, now mirrors inadequacies of the larger society.
No more hassle on campuses! TIAB Cycle Limited is championing a bicycle revolution that guarantees plastic trash free campuses and enable students students to go everywhere at no extra cost. They can now pay for new bicycles by simply collect 84Kg of Plastic litter on campus.
