Building a Profitable Recycling Platform and Creating Jobs: Bilikiss Abiola talks to Dotun on Building the Future Podcast

Hi, BellaNaijarians,

Last week, we introduced a new weekly segment: The Building the Future Podcast with Dotun Olowoporoku.

We have entrepreneurs, industry leaders, founders of startups who are writing the narrative that will be told about the African continent, telling their stories directly.

The first episode featured Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, co-founder of Andela and Flutterwave.

On the show this week is Bilikiss Abiola, former CEO of Wecyclers, and now the General manager of Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency (LASPARK).

Bilikiss, who was recently awarded the prestigious ‘International Grand Prize’ at Le Monde’s Smart Cities Innovation Awards for her work with Wecyclers discusses the potential of waste management in Africa.

There’s so much to learn from this episode, including how to write cold emails and hassle people to give you meetings, to building a platform that others can build on.
