Bluegreen ISDN Honors Two Teachers with Eco-Friendly Teacher of the Year Awards

As part of the activities marking World Zero Waste Day, Bluegreen Initiative for Sustainable Development Network honored two teachers from Community Secondary School, Nkek, on Friday, March 27, 2026. The teachers were recognized as the Eco-Friendly Teachers of the Year.

The teachers, Mr. Uduak Udoidiong and Elder Monday Sunday, were celebrated for their invaluable contributions to the successful implementation of the Bottle Toilet Project at the school.

The Bottle Toilet Project is an ecological masterpiece and the first of its kind in Akwa Ibom State. It repurposed over 18,000 PET bottles into a modern WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) facility. The project aims to promote girl-child school enrollment, foster environmental sustainability, and combat climate change.

Wishing you and your loved ones a season filled with sustainable cheers!

Earlier today, we handed over the Bottle Toilet facility to Community Secondary School, Nkek in Ukanafun LGA of Akwa Ibom State.

Built with plastic bottles from across major brands, this project saw the investment of over eighteen thousand bottles.

This project aimed at reducing plastic waste, encouraging girl child school enrollment, reducing open defecation and promoting hygiene.

We thank the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives and our partner International Climate Change Development Initiative, for their support to bring this eco innovation to fruition.

We thank the Executive Vice Chairman of Ukanafun who was represented at the event by her spouse Hon. Ufokobong Owen for donating exercises books to the students as a show of solidarity to the work we do.

We had a representative of the Hon Commissioner of Environment and Mineral Resources, the Special Assistant to the Governor of Akwa Ibom State on Education Monitoring, Pastor Ekponobong Moswill, community chiefs, women and youths.
