In a groundbreaking move toward environmental sustainability, Oju Abuja Amala, a renowned restaurant in Abuja, has launched an innovative waste management initiative that incentivizes customers to recycle take-out bags in exchange for rewards.
The initiative aims to reduce solid waste, promote sustainability, and encourage eco-friendly habits among customers.
To foster a culture of recycling, Oju Abuja Amala is offering a ₦20,000 meal voucher to customers who return at least 15 take-out paper bags. This reward-based recycling program is designed to reduce waste and encourage sustainable consumption.
“At Oju Abuja Amala, we believe every customer has a role to play in building a sustainable environment. This waste reduction program is both an encouragement and an enlightenment initiative for Nigerians to reduce waste,” — Shinayomi Daniel, Executive Director & Brand Ambassador, Oju Abuja Amala.

Nigeria generates an estimated 332 million tonnes of solid waste annually, yet only 20-30% is effectively managed. This eco-conscious initiative aligns with national and global sustainability efforts, reducing landfill waste and encouraging responsible disposal.
“For our customers, this is an opportunity to make a difference while enjoying great rewards. It’s a win-win for everyone—our business, our patrons, and the environment,” Daniel added.
By integrating corporate social responsibility (CSR) into its business model, Oju Abuja Amala is leading the way in eco-conscious entrepreneurship. This initiative sets a new benchmark for businesses looking to adopt sustainable waste management practices in Nigeria.
With projects like this, the journey toward a cleaner, greener Nigeria gains momentum—one paper bag at a time.
