Designers were asked to use Engage to gather community feedback on their proposal. See that people said
For Stage 1, designers were asked to use Engage to gather community feedback on what they would like to see in the select site.
Here is your chance to provide design feedback to the designer. Please be respectiful.
The selected site which is located at Jikwoyi phase 3, along a branched road from Nyanya-Karshi express road, opposite Jikwoyi football field, Abuja Municipal Area Council(AMAC), Nigeria, has long been used as a dumping site for plastic, metallic, food and even sewage wastes. Food/organic wastes form a large portion of the wastes due to the activities of the market in front of the site. Open urination and defecation also occur on the site. There has been legislation against indiscriminate dumping of refuse on the site but it has been to no avail. The saying "old habits die hard" is a reality saying of what is happening on the site.
To tackle the long-lasting problem of refuse disposal on the site, provision of a public toilet which would be paid for before use, waste containers, solar powered water borehole, smokeless incinerators and a mini compost-recycling factory were proposed after a research involving the community on their most preferred development. This will help provide a more hygienic environment to the community, help provide jobs to the community and be a source of revenue to the community as the fertilizers from the mini factory could be sold to farmers at a subsidized rate for the betterment of the agricultural sector of Nigeria at large.
