Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited, managers of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2 has participated in World Cleanup Day.
As part of its commitment to environmental sustainability, the company joined communities worldwide in the collective effort to clean up litter and promote a cleaner, healthier planet.
This year’s World Cleanup Day took place on September 20. The aim is to activate five per cent of the world’s population to catalyze lasting societal behaviour change around mismanaged waste.
BASL’s Head of Safety, Nafisat Adeniran, said, “In our 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 managing waste within and outside the terminal. We also educated them on how to dispose of it correctly and ensure that all their vehicles are equipped with baskets to properly collect and dispose of waste. We rallied drivers and MMA2 top management to participate in this event by cleaning up the driver’s park as evidence of top leadership commitment. We would continually reiterate our eco-friendly program – Recycled waste.
“MMA2 is committed to environmental sustainability through its different initiatives from the management of the specialized FOD waste on the apron (Airside) to recycling of general waste on the landside and taking part in the World Cleanup Day to sensitize people and joining 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.”
Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited organized a cleanup event at the terminal. Volunteers from the company participated to collect waste and restore the area to its natural beauty. To mark the day, the senior management team of BASL went out to the driver’s park and cleaned it up, trashing waste appropriately.
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 had this to say, “We recognize 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.”
In addition to the World Clean-Up Day activities, Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited has adopted a series of eco-friendly practices aimed at reducing waste and carbon emissions, including:
Waste Reduction Initiatives: Implementing effective waste management systems within the terminal, including recycling programs.
