| description | Municipal solid waste management constitutes one of the most crucial health and environmental problem
facing African cities. Most cities spend 20-50% of their
annual budget on solid waste management and only 20-80%
of the waste is collected. This study
examines the current status of municipal solid waste management within
Federal Capital Territory Abuja (FCT Abuja) and aims
to identify the current challenges and areas requiring
improvement. The data collection is in stages, using an in
tegrative approach via semi st
ructured interview and field
observations. The qualitative data was analyzed descriptively, while the quantitative data was analyzed using basic
statistics. Bases on the finding it is concluded that municipal solid waste management is a serious issue due to its
human health and environmental sustainability implications, that has yet to be properly address within the FCT
