Introduction
Sometimes, the best way to show impact is through real stories. That’s why we’re proud to highlight the journey of selected pilot factories that are participating in the GEF-UNIDO IEE & RECP Project — companies that are turning vision into action.
Pilot Factory Profiles
- Textile plant: implementing energy optimization on its motor systems
- Food processing facility: reducing waste through RECP analysis
- Metal workshop: mapping process flows and reusing scrap
Early Wins
These are not hypothetical changes. In pilot factories, we’ve already seen:
- measurable reductions in energy bills (via audits and motor optimizations)
- operational changes prompted by baseline diagnostic work
- increased employee involvement: staff are engaged in identifying inefficiencies and suggesting improvements
What This Means for Nigeria
Pilot projects are the crucible for scale. Each success is a demonstration — to other factories, to financiers, and to policymakers — that clean production doesn’t have to be expensive or theoretical. It can pay off and help Nigeria industrialize more sustainably.
Next Steps for Pilot Factories
- Maintain a digital record (photos, data) so that every saving, every intervention is documented
- Replicate successful interventions in other parts of your business
- Join the knowledge-sharing network (via our website) so other industry players can learn from your experience
