Suleja Local Government of Niger State Nigeria is located between 9 12’’N and 7 10” E. Suleja is faced with the twin problem of inadequate electricity and waste management. Although Niger State has not been mentioned prominently as a state with acute waste management problem, there is however a growing evidence that the little that is being generated is not been properly managed. The second of the two principal options for managing MSW in most parts of the world is Waste to Energy (WtE) where the waste is used as a feedstock to produce energy by either thermo-chemical or biochemical means. The MSW of Niger State was characterized using ASTM D5231-92 and sorted into combustibles and non-combustibles, the calorific value was determined using Parr 6310 bomb calorimeter and the energy potential was determined using SZR garbage incinerator with thermal efficiency of 81% at 2.5 bar and 400 degrees. The daily disposal of Suleja MSW was found to be about 80000 kg out of which 71787 kg are combustibles. The average calorific value was found to be 21.8 MJ/kg. The average energy output in form of steam is between 11.2 - 17.2 MW with an average of 14.7MW of heat
