This study is aimed at estimating the significant indicators and constructs that directly influence households to recover and reuse faecal waste in Ogun state, Nigeria. Adopting a four-level multi-stage approach, a total of 110, 100, and 120 questionnaires were respectively administered in Ogijo/Likosi, Ilaro I, and Sodeke/ SaleIjeun II wards. The selected criteria reflect the variance in the populations of 1,250,435(33%), 1,112,761(30%), and 1,387,944(37%) for Ogun East, Ogun West and Ogun Central, respectively. The pooled confirmatory factor analysis process took the form of several re-estimations,based on the deletion of lowly loading factors and correlation of redundant items, validation of the model, assessment of normality,and full structural model analysis. The structural model established a significant positive relationship between Environmental/Health Factors of Faecal Waste Reusability (EV) and Reusability Factor(RF) (β=0.727, p<0.05), and similarly, Economic Factors of Faecal Waste Reusability (EC)and Reusability Factor (RF) (β=0.715, p<0.05). The study, among all others, recommends a more flexible sanitation business value chain model that is household inclusive and conforms to the paradigm of green and circular economy
