It has also been argued that most investigations in solid waste management did not cover the key elements required for the involvement of private entrepreneurs, which has to do with entrepreneurial innovation, from solid waste management and how entrepreneurial capacities could best be applied to optimize efficiencies in solid waste recycling (Ahmed and McQuaid, 2005;Levi Jaksić et al, 2015;Mirchev and Dicheva, 2013;Mitra, 2012). Thus, Research hypothesis: H 0 : There is a significant effect of entrepreneurial innovation on solid waste recycling in Abuja.…”
