Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited, managers of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2, commonly referred to as MM2, has said it actively participated in the World Cleanup Day.
The company noted that as part of its commitment to environmental sustainability, the company would join communities worldwide in the collective effort to clean up litter and promote a cleaner, and healthier planet.
“This year’s World Cleanup Day aim is to activate five per cent of the world’s population to catalyse lasting societal behaviour change around mismanaged waste”, it was noted.
BASL’s Head of Safety, Nafisat Adeniran, said in the company’s way of joining the activated five per cent of the world’s population, MMA2 organised awareness events to engage all MMA2 drivers.
She added, “This is to educate them on how to manage waste within and outside the terminal. We also educated them on how to dispose of it correctly and to ensure that all their vehicles are equipped with baskets so that waste is properly collected and disposed of.
“We did rally up drivers and MMA2 top management to take part in this event by cleaning up the driver’s park as evidence of top leadership commitment. We would continually reiterate our eco-friendly programme – The Recycled Waste.
“MMA2 is committed to environmental sustainability through its different initiatives, from the management of the specialised FOD waste on the apron (airside) to recycling of general waste on the landside and taking part in the World Cleanup Day to sensitise people and join the millions of volunteers around the globe to tackle the global mismanaged waste crisis and to help create a new, more sustainable and waste-free world.”
Bi-Courtney Aviation Services disclosed that it organised a cleanup event at the terminal, adding that volunteers from the company participated to collect waste and restore the area to its natural beauty.
The company says “By participating in World Cleanup Day, Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited aims to raise awareness about the environmental challenges facing our planet and encourage others to act. The company believes that collective efforts can make a significant impact on preserving our natural resources and creating a sustainable future for generations to come.”
The Head of Corporate Communications at BASL, Ajoke Yinka-Olawuyi, said sustainability was embedded in the firm’s operational ethos, and World Clean-Up Day offered an opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to maintaining a greener planet.
“Through this initiative, we hope to inspire individuals and other organizations to prioritise environmental cleanliness for the benefit of future generations.”
