Trillion-Naira drainage: Inside Africa’s lost billion E-Waste boom by Remmy Nweke - WeekendDigits@ITREALMS

In this WeekendDigits@ITREALMS investigative feature, REMMY NWEKE uncovers how Africa is losing trillions of naira through the illegal e-waste trade, exposing weak regulation, missed recycling opportunities, environmental damage, and the urgent need to transform electronic waste into sustainable economic prosperity.
