A serving member of the National Youth Service Corps, Kleina Kuchahyel Musa. that her decision to construct an eco-friendly toilet facility using recycled plastic bottles was driven by the desire to turn environmental waste into practical community solutions. Musa spoke on Friday in Jalingo during the commissioning of the sanitation facility built with 3,500 recycled plastic bottles at Salihu Dogo Secondary School in Jalingo, Taraba State.

The project, executed under her Community Development Service, was commissioned by the Taraba State Government. Speaking at the event, Musa indicated the initiative was inspired by the growing challenge of plastic waste and the need to promote environmental sustainability while addressing sanitation concerns within schools. “For many people, plastic waste is simply a problem. But for me, it became a question: ‘What if this waste could become a solution?

’ Today, that idea has become a reality here in Jalingo, where we have successfully recycled 3,500 plastic bottles into something meaningful,” she indicated. the project was designed to align with several Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation, SDG 13 on climate action, SDG 4 on quality education and SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities.

From her, the initiative was not just about constructing a toilet facility but also about inspiring community participation and environmental responsibility among students and residents. Musa indicated she was particularly encouraged when students voluntarily joined the construction process by helping to carry sand-filled bottles and building materials. “In that moment, I realised the project was no longer just mine. It had become a community project,” she indicated.
