Economic Benefits of Water Hyacinth Recycling Initiative

Aquatic Weed Harvester Cutting Water Hyacinth

The Lagos State Waterways Authority in conjunction with a Lagos based social enterprise Mitimeth commenced the third edition of the water hyacinth recycling initiative where 100 rural women were trained on the economic benefits of recycling hyacinth weed.
