The Water Hyacinth
project in Yaba College of Technology was initiated by Dr. Funmilayo
Doherty in 2012. She is mentoring students through her Water Hyacinth project,
to turn the invasive plant into a money maker, training them on how to make
different eco friendly hand craft, biogas and animal feed
from the plant. She teaches students on how to harvest the plant, dry it and
weave into products that can be sold by the students.
In Nigeria almost all
river bodies have been dominated by water hyacinth. The plant can be found in
several coastal communities in Lagos State such as Ikorodu, Epe, Ojo,
OwodeOnirin, Oworonsoki, Lagos Lagoon, Ebute Metta, among others. The weeds
often serve as hideouts to dangerous reptiles, especially snakes and
crocodiles. The presence of the weeds in the Lagos Lagoon had created a lot of
problems for the smooth navigation of boats and other water crafts.
