Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola, the CEO of Wecyclers, has been appointed to oversee the Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency (LASPARK). As the new General Manager, she is tasked with making Lagos greener and healthier through the creation and maintenance of functional and operational parks and gardens, planting and maintenance of trees.
In a statement by the state government, “Abiola is coming to the saddle with a remarkable private sector experience and a passion for the environment, particularly in the waste recycling sector where she co-founded “WeCyclers”, a waste recycling company in consonance with the waste to wealth initiative of the State Government.”
LASPARK was established to take over the assignment of the greening initiative of the State Government from the Conservation and Ecology Department of the Ministry of the Environment (office of the Environmental Services).
In 2012, Bilikiss co-founded Wecyclers, a company which offers household recycling service using a fleet of low-cost cargo bikes.
She was educated at Fisk University, Vanderbilt University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States of America.
