Osayamen J. Imarhiagbe is part of the Baltic Beauty Journey. He studies Applied Geosciences at RWTH in Aachen in Germany and has a MSc in Geology from the University of Benin. Specialised in mineral exploitation, he is eager to make mining more sustainable. Osayamen grew up in Nigeria, where he has experienced the impacts of heavy rainfall first hand. Gullies, which are the most advanced state of erosion, formed because no good draining systems are constructed and in place. Chunks of land, public facilities and housing get washed away with landslides.
Osayame talks about his internship at a Nigerian petroleum company, where he had the opportunity to visit places and facilites of oil drilling. From this stems his interest and passion to tackle the problem of environmental degradation. He aims to get young people engaged in government to start addressing waste and land use management, and to implement policies across sectors.
His individual project for the Journey stems from his group project, in which they address transparency in politics, especially with regard to environmental management and the climate change crisis, to address the gap between politics and citizens. His individual topic further looks into how to incorporate the interests of young people in politics.
Tune in to this highly insightful episode and gear how his teacher inspired him to promote environmental culture and awareness in Nigeria. Osayame has an idea of how to transform and reuse the spaces that were once used for mining, don't miss out on it!
The survey he talks about at the end is to check the level of knowledge and familiarity of environmental policies and political involvement amongst young people and their willingness to participate in the climate policy process and ensure transparency. The link is below and it still active.
