The Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Mr. Abiodun Oni, said residents and owners of the shop violated environmental laws and failed to comply with the laid down hygienic practices.

Speaking through the Special Adviser on Environment, Engr. Ademola Aderinto, the Commissioner said that the buildings were sealed off during the ongoing sensitisation and enforcement campaign of the dtate government to commemorate this year’s World Clean-up Day.

He said the exercise was done to ensure total compliance with environmental hygiene and prevent possible outbreak of any disease, pointing out that Environmental Health Officers had earlier visited the affected buildings and told the owners to do the needful but they failed to do so.

The Commissioner, who said the affected buildings are responsible for heaps of waste dumped in the market place and along the main road, added that they do not have adequate waste bins for their wastes.

Meanwhile, as part of activities to mark this year’s World Clean-up Day, the Oyo State Government and Mottainai Recycling Ltd, recovered 5,170kg of plastic wastes in Academy community market, Ibadan.

The team also recovered 1,100 kg of cartons from the market.

According to Aderinto, the exercise, which was carried out in conjunction with Waste Management Authority in the state, Mottainai Recycling Ltd, was also used to sensitise and educate market women on how a waste-free environment can foster better customer relations and increase sales.

He appealed to residents to key into the Oyo State Government’s environmental blueprint.

“Marketplaces are by nature unkempt with practices that are harmful to the ecosystem, but Oyo State Government believes that with continuous sensitisation and enforcement, we can make the traders understand the importance of a neat location for business,” Aderinto said.

Speaking, Managing Director, Mottainai Recycling Ltd, Mr. Ade Adewuyi, explained that the initiative was borne out of the need to ensure Oyo State is clean.

Adewuyi who was represented by the Chief Sustainability Officer, Mottainai Recycling Ltd, Ms. Deborah, Fadeyi,said: “We are commemorating the World Clean-up Day in a very unconventional way, with the market people.

“We are here to show them how waste can be turned to wealth”.

She said Mottainai Recycling Ltd, as the government-approved waste manager will ensure adequate provision of necessary information on environmental sanitation in the dtate.

In her submission, the Chief Operating Officer, Mottainai Recycling Ltd, Ms. Oluwaseun Fashukanmi, explained that besides drawing attention of the public to the immense financial opportunities of waste recycling, the public also needs to be aware of the threats of waste and pollution to human life and the survival of the ecosystem.
