LASG SET TO PARTNER SWEDISH COYS ON WASTE TO ENERGY ..As Env. Comm. says the State Government will continue to pay special attention to waste conversion The quest to make good use of the high solid waste generated in Lagos State got another boost on Tuesday as the state expressed readiness to partner with some Sweden organizations on how to turn both solid waste and liquid waste to energy across the metropolis. Speaking during the meeting at Alausa, Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab said the state will continue to pay special attention to waste management adding that waste is not a waste but remain one of the best resource every where. He said Waste to energy is a project that the State Government is willing to embark on in order to move the narrative forward in a progressive and productive way. "Our resolve from the beginning of this tenure is that whatever we have to engage in to manage and deploy our solid and liquid waste as a resource is a priority for this government as it will save Lagos but other neighbouring state" he said. The Commissioner stated that the Ministry which is a public facing ministry has resolved to embrace any project that will cut the carbon foot print in the state. He said the state being a coastal state is faces alot of challenges, one of which is the Atlantic Ocean rising at the peak of the rainy season adding that the state is also at the end of numerous tributaries where water is discharged into the lagoon all of which could lead to flooding in the state. He said lagos generates between 13,000 to 14,000 tonnes of waste per day and the state is open to suggestions about possible productive ways to turn it into a Resources and move the state forward. Wahab said lagos as a State is working to decongest the roads and make Lagos a 21st century mega city saying that the cause and effect on the environment is that these moves help to reduce the emissions on the long run. According to him, As a result of current energy crisis in Nigeria, this has caused the spike in the cost of PMS and its multiple effects on the economy. So if the Lagos State Government can go ahead with this project. it will solve half of the problem in the PMS high price in Lagos. "This project is something we have to pursue deliberately and diligently. This is because while the government on its own part is trying to push out CNG at lower cost, conversion of waste to energy will also be an option especially for public transport in Lagos" Wahab said Lagos account for over 50% of the vehicular traffic in the country with the smallest land mass as well as 22million people which is 10% of the country’s population being inhabited in with less than 3,600 square kilometers of land, stressing that the project is not an option but a necessity. He recalled that earlier in the year, the state government had been in consultation with two Dutch companies one which will turn waste to energy and the other which will deal with electronic waste, adding that the state can indeed change the notion that waste is not a waste but a resource. The head of the delegation, representative of the Consul of Sweeden and the Business Promotion Officer, Sweden Embassy Abuja, Ms. Sara Ibru noted that the Lagos Government is known to be very pro - active in all its endeavours and that the Swedish Organizations are willing to collaborate with Lagos State to turn solid and liquid wastes into valuable resources. The Honourable Commissioner was joined by the Permanent Secretary, Office of Environmental Services, Gaji Omobolaji Tajudeen and his Counterpart in Drainage Services, Engr Mahamood Adegbite to receive the visitors The organizations representatives include Swedish Trade and Investment Council ( Business Sweden); Honourary Consul of Sweden in Nigeria; Swedish Development Agency (SDA); NIR International Council of Swedish Industry and Swedfund.

Swedish company helps Russian elite bypass EU sanctions to vacation in Europe - French Alps among top destinations Public broadcaster SVT can reveal how the Swedish tech company Avinode is being used by the Russian elite to circumvent sanctions. Representatives of the company have recommended that Russian client companies establish subsidiaries in third countries. Avinode declines to participate in an interview but states that measures have been taken, SVT reports. Story by SVT's Maria Georgieva 23 April 2026 at 06:03 CET Despite Russian private jets being banned in the EU following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, SVT’s investigation shows that Avinode is being used by the Russian elite—including oligarchs and individuals subject to sanctions—to continue flying internationally. Avinode connects flight operators with aircraft brokers for private jet bookings. However, several independent sources report that Avinode staff recommended Russian customers to re-register their companies in other countries when the sanctions were introduced. SVT’s investigation reveals that Russian aircraft brokers have opened offices in countries such as Turkey, Cyprus, and the United Arab Emirates. In this way, they can conceal Russian connections and retain access to the European market despite the sanctions. By posing as a representative of a sanctioned Russian citizen, SVT was offered trips by Russian brokers who confirmed that they use Avinode. “The key issue is the extent to which the Swedish company Avinode knew that they were providing services to Russian customers, or to customers acting on behalf of Russians. If they knew this was the case, then in my view it would constitute a violation of the EU sanctions,” says sanctions lawyer Alexandre Prezanti. CEO refuses interview SVT has contacted Avinode’s CEO Oliver King and founder Per Marthinsson. The company has declined a recorded interview and has responded via email to some of SVT’s questions. Avinode states that it has strengthened its customer due diligence since the invasion of Ukraine and has terminated cooperation with some of the companies featured in SVT’s investigation. The company admits shortcomings in its routines, but claims these were the result of actions by a single employee. The company says it lacks sufficient documentation to terminate cooperation with some of the re-registered companies that SVT has identified. “We still have no knowledge of any connection between these entities and persons or organizations subject to sanctions.” The company further states that it does not have access to individual passengers’ personal data and is not responsible for checking it. “The platform enables operators and brokers to be connected, but the final agreement for each individual flight is made between the operator and the broker and does not take place on Avinode’s platform.” Facts about Avinode: Avinode is a leading digital marketplace for private jet and business jet charter bookings, and controls approximately 80 percent of the world market, according to the company itself. Avinode was founded in 2001 in Gothenburg by three Chalmers University students. The company is headquartered in Gothenburg. Since 2024, Avinode has been owned by the American company CAMP Systems International (part of the Hearst Group), but it remains a Swedish company in terms of origin, registration, and operations in Sweden. The system handles approximately 8 million searches and 13 million travel requests annually. Oliver King is CEO of the European operations and legally responsible for Avinode AB. One of the founders, Per Marthinsson, is still the revenue director. Source SVT: AI Translation

The American-owned battery manufacturer Lyten has agreed to take over Northvolt's operations. Northvolt looks set to have a new owner. This is the result of hard work over a long period of time. This agreement, if approved by the Swedish Inspectorate of Strategic Products, will further strengthen trans-Atlantic relations and increase Sweden’s and EU’s independence and resilience. Work to find a new owner has been led by the bankruptcy trustee, Mr Mikael Kubu. The government has been in close contact with him, Business Sweden and other relevant parties to support the work in finding a new and long-term owner. Working as a team, both privately and publicly, strongly benefit the spirit of "Team Sweden". I have had many fruitful meetings over the past few months and have been in contact with representatives from Lyten for some time. But one of the most memorable meetings that stands out is when I visited Skellefteå - when Northvolt had just filed for bankruptcy - and met with many worried employees. Their sadness – but also pride to have been part of the Northvolt journey – has stuck with me. I therefore sincerely hope today's announcement brings new opportunities for all people affected by the bankruptcy. It is vital for Sweden and the EU that we have battery production in Europe. It strengthens competitiveness, levels the playing field in relation to Chinese players and increases our resilience. The government has been clear that we must have battery production in Europe, it is good for the industry's transition, and it creates jobs.
