Are you a young professional or entrepreneur in Nigeria’s waste or facility management sector? The Lagos Business School (LBS) is offering a unique opportunity to build your leadership and business skills through its 2025 Leadership Programme for Sustainable Waste Management (LP-SWM).
This programme aims to prepare a new generation of leaders to drive sustainable innovation in the waste management industry—an industry that is fast becoming a game-changer globally. While countries around the world are transforming waste into wealth, Nigeria still lacks professional training opportunities in this vital space. That’s where LBS steps in.

It also welcomes professionals in related fields like sustainability, HSE, and CSR.
