Regular businesses in Nigeria account for up to 39.6 million micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), according to a 2021 report by the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). However, the number of circular businesses remains unknown. With the establishment of CIRCO Hub Nigeria, offering the CIRCO methodology to entrepreneurs seeking to transition to circular value in their offerings and processes, this narrative can change.? CIRCO Hub Nigeria, through capacity building, circular innovation, and membership & support, encourages the adoption of circular economy practices by businesses.

As the saying goes, there is more than one way to crack a nut—similarly, there are several strategies to adopting circular procurement. During the #CircularProcurementBreakfastWorkshop organised by the Circular Business Platform and PwC Nigeria on Nov 1st, 2024, the following focus areas were identified for circular business to drive circular procurement: ?????????? ????????????????????????: Ensure products retain their value through multiple life cycles. ???????????????? ????????????????????: Optimise the use of resources throughout the product life cycle. ?????????? ??????????????????: Design out waste by reusing, remanufacturing, and recycling materials. ???????????????????????????? ???? ??????????????????: Use materials that are renewable, recyclable, or biodegradable. ?????????????? ?????????????????? ?????? ??????????????: Focus on products that are durable, repairable, upgradable, and meet quality standards. These will enable individuals, organisations, and institutions to practise circular procurement. Now let’s hear from you, as individuals, organisations, and institutions, how do you practise circular procurement? #CBP #PWCNigeria #CircularProcurementBreakfastWorkshop #CircularEvents

?????? ?? ???????????????? ???????????? ?????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????????????????? ?????????????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ??????????????????????? The answer is obvious—no. That’s the critical role green jobs play in advancing the global movement toward a circular economy and sustainability. Green jobs are positions that contribute to environmental sustainability and economic resilience. These roles span various industries—agriculture, waste management, food, fashion, and more. For Nigeria to transition into a circular economy, empowering individuals with relevant skills and creating opportunities for practice is crucial. Stakeholders must rise to this challenge. This was the focus of the Inspired Youth Network’s Policy Dialogue on Green Jobs held on November 14th 2024. Representing our ecosystem, Circular Business Platform team member, Obaloluwa Dairo served as a panellist, sharing insights with youth at the event. ??

Lately, we have been engaged in promoting circular procurement within organisations. Our most recent event, the ???????????????? ?????????????????????? ?????????????????? ???????????????? in partnership with PwC Nigeria , is a testament to this effort. At the Circular Business Platform, we believe that embracing circular procurement can ignite a wave of circular entrepreneurship across Nigeria, paving the way for a truly circular economy nation. Below are parameters for a strong circular procurement approach. With these in place, circular procurement could become the standard for organisations. Do you agree with our thoughts? #CBP #PWCNigeria #CircularProcurementBreakfastWorkshop #CircularEvents

The first day of November kicked off with the Circular Business Platform and PwC Nigeria hosting a #CircularProcurementBreakfastWorkshop to encourage organisations across Nigeria to integrate circular procurement into their processes, operations, and strategies. It has been exactly two weeks and while we cannot turn back the hands of time to relive the memories of the event, today offers us another chance to share with our community some highlights from the one-day workshop. We hope this event serves as a catalyst to address the numerous challenges hindering circular procurement in Nigeria. These include a mismatch between supply and demand for circular products, inadequate policy formulation and implementation and a macroeconomic environment that does not fully support pro-environmental consumer behaviour.
