The Director of Admin and Supply, EWMB Idiaghe Osagie who read the opening address on behalf of  Dr. Lucky Enehita-Inegbenehi made this disclosure during the official unveiling of the Edo State Waste Management Board Academy in Benin City.

He said the event marks another giant stride in the innovative and transformative approach of the Waste Management Board.
