In a decisive move to bridge the gap between industrial growth and public health, the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), in collaboration with Accappocco Global Services Nigeria Ltd, has announced a high-level national workshop focused on Health, Safety, Environment (HSE), Circular Economy, and Environmental Sustainability.
Scheduled for April 16, 2026, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, the one-day intensive programme is set to gather top executives, policymakers, and industry leaders under one roof. The theme, “Introduction to Circular Economy and Green Financing,” signals a growing urgency to rethink how industries operate in Nigeria—particularly in the face of rising environmental and health concerns linked to pollution and inefficient resource use.
According to a release by Dr. Opone Valentine Ottis, the
Managing Director, Accappocco Global Services Nig Ltd, the workshop aims to equip decision-makers with practical strategies to reduce waste, cut emissions, and transition toward more sustainable, closed-loop production systems. Experts will also introduce participants to green financing opportunities, helping organizations align profitability with environmental responsibility.
Key sessions will cover topics such as energy efficiency, environmental sustainability in industrial systems, GIS and automated facility mapping, and government regulations guiding sustainable practices. Participants are expected to leave with not only enhanced leadership skills but also actionable insights into optimizing resources, lowering production costs, and improving workplace safety standards.
Beyond technical knowledge, the event is positioned as a networking hub where industry stakeholders can exchange ideas and co-create solutions for a more sustainable future. With increasing global pressure on industries to adopt eco-friendly practices, the workshop underscores Nigeria’s commitment to fostering safer work environments and healthier communities.
As industrial leaders prepare to converge in Abeokuta, the message is clear: the future of business is not just profitable—it is sustainable, circular, and health-conscious.
