In an interview with the NAN on Wednesday, the Salubata COO said her products impacted the Nigerian economy.

‘‘We wanted to do something that impacts on everyday part of our lives. We’ve always seen plastic waste around us and have always looked for ways to help the environment.

“We believe these customizable shoes from Salubata could help stamp out plastic wastes in its entirety.

“We believe we are making a very significant change, particularly from an environmental viewpoint, because the volume of plastic wastes in our environments keeps growing every year,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian High Commissioner to Rwanda, Aishatu Musa, has congratulated the Nigerian youth delegation to CHOGM 2022 for representing the country well.

The High Commissioner, who hosted the delegates at the Chancery in Kigali, urged them to continue to portray Nigeria as a country of innovators and entrepreneurs.

“It is great to see young people from Nigeria doing great things. I must commend your efforts and contributions in trying to address some of the challenges facing the commonwealth countries.

“Nigeria is blessed with lots of talents and the youth are the country’s pride. So, I urge you to be passionate about your dreams and aspirations and continue to push them to make the world a better place,” Musa said.
