Oni reiterated that the new initiative was conceived in order to actualise the vision of keeping Oyo State clean, while also harnessing other opportunities that are inherent in proper waste management system.

“We are tired of using the same approach without getting results,” he said.

The commissioner  narrated instances where the state had heaps of refuse in open spaces, thereby, causing embarrassment and posing threats to the health of residents in the state.
He assured residents that the government was taking holistic measures to ensure that the state experiences a turn-around in the environmental sector.

Oni also announced that the Governor Seyi Makinde has approved the appointment of a new waste management consultant, Mottainai Recycling Africa, who will see to the day to day running of the disposal mechanism in the state.

Speaking, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mrs. Modupe Adeleye, revealed that the action taken on the re-application of the PSP operators was intended to move the state forward and ensure a cleaner and healthier environment.

She enjoined all the stakeholders to work with the government in actualising this agenda.
Meanwhile, Oyo State Government has  embarked on enforcing environmental laws in order  to improve sanitation within the environment and checkmate traffic congestion.

While calling on traders in the state  to remain law abiding and be peaceful when carrying out their legitimate businesses, Oni  stated that the present administration is poised at maintaining and sustaining the state’s ecosystem towards ensuring a clean and green environment that would be attracting investors to thrive in the state.

The state government  also sealed a filling station for violating the environmental laws and failure to carry out the state’s weekly sanitation exercise.

The filling station located at Gate area of  Ibadan metropolis, was also accused of accommodating a filthy drainage lane which environmental officers alleged exposed residents to health hazards and could also pose environmental threat to peoples’ health if not timely addressed.
