Electronic waste (e-waste) management has emerged as a critical environmental and public health challenge in Nigeria, driven by increasing digitalisation, high importation of used electronics and inadequate disposal practices. Despite existing regulatory efforts, the country continues to struggle with informal recycling, unsafe dismantling methods and limited enforcement of e-waste policies. This article explores the deficiencies in Nigeria’s current e-waste management framework and proposes a regulatory blueprint for a more sustainable approach. Drawing on global best practices, the study advocates for a comprehensive regulatory regime that includes Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), stricter import controls, improved formal recycling infrastructure, and strengthened enforcement mechanisms. It also highlights the importance of public awareness campaigns, private-sector collaboration, and policy incentives to encourage responsible e-waste disposal. By transitioning to a structured and legally enforceable e-waste management system, Nigeria can mitigate environmental risks, safeguard public health, and unlock economic opportunities through resource recovery and job creation. Through doctrinal and critical analysis, this paper underscores the urgent need for a multi-stakeholder approach that aligns regulatory frameworks with sustainability principles, ensuring Nigeria’s readiness to tackle the growing e-waste crisis effectively.
