ABSTRACT

Refuse dumpsites are found both within and in the outskirts of cities in Nigeria. Due to poor and ineffective management, the dumpsites turn to sources of health hazards to people living in the vicinity of such dumps. When waste disposal sites are in close proximity to residential structures, such environment is adversely affected as organisms that thrive in such dirty places are also agents of disease outbreak. Therefore, the aim of shelter as a place where people live and play in a hygienic manner is defeated when the stench from the nearby dump sites is a constant menace. In addition, these dumpsites can contaminate ground water which in turn affects the purity of the water fetched from wells, hence, if residents of a city are devoid of access to portable water, it will take its turn on their health. . This study was designed to evaluate the role of the regulatory agency (KEPA) in the management of municipal solid waste at Ungwan Doma dumpsite of Chikun LGA of Kaduna state. It will also identify the challenges of KEPA and examine the policy options in addressing these challenges. The survey research was adopted for data collection in the course of this study. It involved the administration of questionnaires, conducting key informants interviews; Focus group discussion as well as direct observation. Chi-square non-parametric test was used in testing the reliability of the proposition. The cradle to cradle theory by William Mcdonough guided this study. The result from the analysis carried out using the statistical packages for social science (SPSS 20, version) showed that there is a significant relationship between the effective implementation of KEPA policy on solid waste and waste management in Kaduna state, and also a significant relationship between the performance of KEPA and the quality of its personnel. Among the findings, it was revealed that KEPA lacks sufficient funds to function effectively. As such the study recommended that Kaduna state government should increase the financial allocation to KEPA to enable them function effectively.
