  The problem of pollution resulting improper management of municipal solid waste (MSW) in Nigeria needs to be eliminated by converting MSW to useful resources. In this study, we conducted lab-scale anaerobic digestion of OFMSW to optimize substrate concentration required to maximize biogas yield under wet ambient condition. After characterization, various concentrations of the substrate (OFMSW) ranging from 0% (wet process) to 45% (dry process) was subjected to One-Factor response design (using Design Expert version 9.0) as well as anaerobic digestion (using rumen juice as the source of microbial inoculum) inside one-stage 500 ml-capacity batch-type anaerobic digesters with useful volumes of 350 ml. Result showed that the highest and lowest volume of cumulative biogas production (596.4 ml and 107.6 ml) was recorded in the experimental set-up with 30% and 5% substrate respectively after..
