Alhaji Fatai Adisa-Ogunwale, the new National President of National Association of Scrap and Waste Dealers Employers of Nigeria (NASWDEN), has solicited support of the Federal Government to effectively contribute in growing the economy.
Adisa-Ogunwale made the appeal shortly after his election at the National Delegates Conference/National Executive Council Election of NASWDEN in Abuja.
“We are calling on government for support. We need the support of the government.
“When we get the support of the government, it will assist us to achieve our aim, which is to contribute to the growth of the country’s economy.
“If we can get the support of government through the provision of security, we can achieve it,” he said.
Adisa-Ogunwale also promised to take the association to a greater height, promote and boost its image.
The NASWEDEN president commended President Bola Tinubu for efforts being made at strengthening the country’s economy and urged Nigerians to support his government.
Also, the elected Woman Leader, Alhaja Taibat Abubakar, said that the union has over 10,000 members, urging for proper recognition of the association by government.
“This our job started over 50 years ago; we recycle iron and other items.
“We don’t use imported materials, we use Nigerian made iron. We supply over 50 companies producing iron in Nigeria.
“We want the support of the federal government, because we employ, work and pay salaries. Women constitute about 40 per cent of our members.
“We call them out to refurbish and do more, because the union belong to all of us, and hence we need to get involve,” Abubakar said.
