Meet Doyin! The ‘Green’ Enthusiast

My name is Doyinsola @doyinsola_o and I am an environment enthusiast. I run a recycling and landscaping company in Lagos and also run an NGO whose sole purpose is to teach children about the environment. We are also involved in the replanting of trees and recycle specific waste materials. In addition, I run a tourism company which encourages people to visit shoreline destinations in West Africa and around the world.

I have always had the notion of making the world a better place and leaving it better than I met it, and where better to start from than the city I live in. I really wanted to change the way people managed their waste, so in 2009 I got involved in recycling which was about the time I set up my NGO. In 2015, I got introduced to eco-friendly products by my sister and that motivated me to venture into eco-cleaning and the small scale production of such products. Since setting up these initiatives, we have organized several successful cleaning exercises thanks to our ever-willing volunteers, and we have been able to educate a lot of people about the benefits of eco-friendly products which has been one of our biggest achievements.

My dream for the next 10 years is to expand the eco-cleaning business, create more awareness on the use of more sustainable products and encourage Nigerians to be more concerned about their environment, hence promoting the concept of sustainability.

If you’d like to volunteer with us please send us an email at contactus@medicng.org.
