The Ogun State Government has decided against reviving the monthly environmental sanitation initiative. Instead, authorities plan to bolster waste management facilities to ensure a healthier and safer environment. Governor Dapo Abiodun made this announcement during the commissioning of new waste management equipment, vehicles, and an office block for Farouk Akintunde, the Special Adviser and Managing Director of the Ogun State Waste Management Authority, OGWAMA.
According to Abiodun, the state has surpassed the need for a monthly sanitation exercise, which was halted six years ago. "Every day is now environmental sanitation day in the state," he stated. Abiodun believes daily sanitation has become the norm, making it unnecessary to halt the state for a monthly sanitation event. He emphasized that OGWAMA will continue to collect and dispose of waste generated by households, commercial outlets, and industrial facilities daily, utilizing the newly acquired compactors and other equipment.
The governor also acknowledged the cooperation of residents, community development associations, commercial outlet owners, and industrial captains in maintaining the cleanliness of the state.
