Time and again, the value of e-waste recycling continues to be re-emphasized. This is because e-waste contains precious metals and other valuable resources that can be utilized for new products.
For example due to its highly efficient electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance properties, gold is used as electrical contacts and it is found in old mobile phones, computers and TVs, that require very low voltages and currents, which are easily interrupted by corrosion. Extracting this metal makes business sense and is very circular in nature.

Nigeria: Responding to AFCTA, post-pandemic through SEZs - ITREALMS
Commentary@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!
Nigeria is systematically and fundamentally responding to new economic challenges through a coordinated revival and expansion of special economic zones (SEZ) across the country. A renewed attention is being paid to the reform of SEZ to cope with demands of post-pandemic recovery and requirements of African Continental Free Trade Area (AFCTA). A feverish acceptance of SEZ's critical role is pervading federal and states governments including associated federal agencies.
Nigeria is challenged on several fronts with economic handicaps as the most biting of them all. For long, development and expansion of manufacturing capacities was neglected even with more than 40 free trade zones in the country. The lapses range from non-adherence to international best practices in the running and management of FTZs to a dysfunctional legal framework. More instructive is the lack of deeper understanding of what an SEZs stand for as well how strategic the model is to ramp up development of industrial capacities, creation of employment and expansion of national earnings.
