ONDO STATE GOVERNMENT REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO A CLEAN AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

Yesterday, I led a team of officers from the Ondo State Ministry of Environment and the Ondo State Waste Management Authority (ODSWMA) on a compliance monitoring and enforcement drive during the May edition of the Monthly Environmental Sanitation Exercise in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

The exercise, held between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., is part of the Ondo State Government's ongoing commitment to environmental cleanliness, public health protection, and sustainable waste management.

Prior to the exercise, residents were duly notified and encouraged to remain indoors while cleaning their homes, business premises, drainage channels, and immediate surroundings.

The enforcement team monitored compliance across major roads and communities within the Akure metropolis, including Oba Adesida Road and adjoining areas. The exercise recorded a high level of compliance, evidenced by significant reduction in human and vehicular movement throughout the sanitation period. This reflects increasing public awareness of the critical role environmental sanitation plays in disease prevention and environmental sustainability.

Notwithstanding the overall compliance recorded, a few individuals were found violating the sanitation order by moving about without valid authorization. In line with extant environmental sanitation regulations, the offenders were apprehended and arraigned before the Mobile Court, reaffirming the government' s commitment to enforcing environmental laws without exception.

The Ondo State Government, under the leadership of His Excellency, Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, remains resolute in its pursuit of a cleaner, safer, and healthier environment for all residents.

We, therefore, urge the public to sustain their support for environmental sanitation initiatives and continue to adopt responsible environmental practices toward building a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable Ondo State.

Commissioner for Environment,
Ondo State.

Yesterday, I attended the Stakeholders’ Summit organized by the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC). The summit provided a valuable platform for the commission’s leadership to engage with the people, understand their developmental aspirations, and design more impactful projects and implementation strategies.

The occasion also served as a convergence point for OSOPADEC, stakeholders from the mandate areas, and policy experts to exchange ideas and foster collaborative solutions for the accelerated development of the coastal region.

I commend the Chairman of OSOPADEC, Prince Biyi Poroye, for this initiative, as it has always been my firm belief that development programmes and projects must always reflect and respond to the needs of the people.
