Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL) which operates the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2 took part in the World Cleanup Day held recently as part of its commitment to environmental sustainability.
Spokesperson for BASL, Mrs Ajoke Yinka-Olawuyi, said in a statement that aim was “to activate five per cent of the world’s population to catalyse lasting societal behaviour change around mismanaged waste.”
“We recognise that a clean and healthy environment is crucial not just for the aviation industry but for the entire ecosystem.
“At BASL, sustainability is embedded in our operational ethos, and World Clean-Up Day offers us an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to maintaining a greener planet.
“Through this initiative, we hope to inspire individuals and other organizations to prioritize environmental cleanliness for the benefit of future generations,” she added.
The statement quoted BASL’s head of safety, Nafisat Adeniran as saying: “In our own little way of joining the activated five per cent of the world’s population MMA2 organized awareness events to engage all MMA2 drivers. 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 would continually reiterate our eco-friendly programme – the recycle waste. MMA2 is committed to environmental sustainability through its different initiatives from the management of the specialised foreign object debris (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 to 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 keep for this and future generations.”
By participating in World Cleanup Day, BASL 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.
In addition to the World Clean-Up Day activities, BASL has adopted a series of eco-friendly practices including waste reduction initiatives, community outreach to reduce waste and carbon emissions.
