Optimus Bank has organized a beach clean-up exercise in Lekki, Lagos, marking World Cleanup Day 2026 and as part of its "Protect our coast" campaign. The initiative, in partnership with Shoreline Euphoria Limited and Reswaye, involved employees, volunteers, and community stakeholders to remove waste from the shoreline, raising awareness about plastic pollution and improper waste disposal.
The clean-up resulted in the collection of about two tons of waste, including plastic bottles, sachet-water nylon, food packaging, cans, glass, and other solid waste. The materials were sorted into recyclable and non-recyclable streams, with recyclables processed through appropriate channels and non-recyclables disposed of through proper waste management, in collaboration with the Lagos State Waste Management Agency (LAWMA).
This initiative is part of Optimus Bank's "Impact Starts with Us" platform, emphasizing practical action, collaboration, and shared responsibility for environmental protection. Managing Director/CEO Dr. Ademola Odeyemi emphasized that protecting the environment is crucial for building resilient communities, while Head of Corporate Communications Morolake Philip highlighted the importance of everyday choices in preserving our shared environment.
