Benue's Waste Challenge
Independent research and official statistics describing the wider waste situation in Benue State. Every figure below is quoted exactly as published in its primary source. These are not Clean Benue achievements.

A previously displayed figure of 247.3 tonnes/day for Makurdi has been removed: that exact value does not appear in Sha’Ato et al. (2007) and cannot be derived transparently from the data reported there. A 6.26M 2023 state population figure was likewise replaced with the last projection published directly by the National Bureau of Statistics.
