As the world marked World Environment Day (WED) on June 5, 2026, E-Terra Technologies Limited has urged all Nigerians to become active stewards of the environment by reducing pollution and promoting responsible waste management.

WED is celebrated as a global platform dedicated to encouraging awareness and action for the protection of the environment. 

In a statement to mark the occasion sent to Vanguard, the CEO of E-Terra Technologies Ltd, Chief Ifeanyi Ochonogor, tasked Nigerians: “Let us work together to build cleaner communities, reduce pollution, promote responsible waste management, and create a sustainable future for generations to come.

According to Ochonogor, “For Nigeria, this message is particularly important. Environmental challenges such as improper waste disposal, pollution, flooding, deforestation, and climate change continue to threaten our health, livelihoods, and economic development.

He maintained, “These challenges cannot be left to government alone; they require the collective efforts of citizens, businesses, communities, and institutions.”

“The 2026 theme focuses on Climate Action, reminding us that the future of our planet depends on the choices we make today.

The E-Terra Technologies boss added, “Environmental sustainability is not the responsibility of a few; it is the collective duty of all. I call on citizens, stakeholders, regulators, and captains of industry to rise to this challenge by embracing responsible environmental practices. 

“As we commemorate World Environment Day today, June 5, 2026, together, through deliberate action and shared commitment, we can build a cleaner, healthier, and safer Nigeria for present and future generations.”

He explained, “At E-Terra Technologies Ltd, we believe that environmental sustainability begins with personal responsibility. Every Nigerian has a role to play in protecting our environment by disposing of waste responsibly, embracing recycling, conserving resources, and supporting environmentally friendly practices.”

“A cleaner environment is not only beneficial to public health but is also essential for economic growth, social well-being, and national development. When we protect our environment, we protect our future,” Ochonogor concluded.
