Abstract
ABSTRACT

Nigeria faces significant environmental and health risks due to rapid Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) generation, estimated at 500,000 tons annually. This systematic review analyses the situation of WEEE in Nigeria, examining existing policies, regulations, and emerging technologies for sustainable recycling. The review analysis reveals gaps in legislation, inadequate infrastructure, and primitive recycling methods, resulting in severe environmental pollution and health risks. Emerging technologies, such as recycling technologies, waste‐to‐energy conversion, and circular economy approaches, offer potential solutions. This review evaluates these technologies' effectiveness and sustainability in the Nigerian context. Recommendations for policy reforms, technological innovations, and stakeholder engagement are provided to inform evidence‐based decision‐making and promote sustainable WEEE recycling practices in Nigeria.
