The Kwara State Commissioner for Environment, Mrs. Banigbe Remilekun Oluwatobi, has stressed the commitment of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq led government towards ensuring a neat and tidy environment in the state.

News Hub Mag! reports that the Commissioner who was marking her birthday on Saturday used the occassion to inspect the above mentioned flash points in the city.

Speaking with some of the government contracted loaders at Taiwo Road and Post Office area, Banigbe charged them to be up and doing in their duties as lackadaisical attitude towards work will not be condoned.






She also charged the compactor/truck operators to endeavour to ply congested areas like Sango more than once in a day to pack dirt, saying that is the only way to keep the road media in such area clean and tidy. 

"This adminstration understands that health is wealth and that is why I am urging you to be up and doing concerning your work. 

"It will not be business as usual as Governor Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq is commited to a clean and healthy environment and you will agree that maintaining a clean enivorment is cheaper than curing the dieases incurred by a dirty enivorment," she stated.

Responding, the operators and loaders said that they are motivated by the gesture of the commissioner, confessing that such is rare and will definitely spur them to do more.






They said if the commissioner could hit the ground running in just few days in office, they also have no excuse not to perform maximally.

Banigbe, together with the Deputy Director of Environment, Mrs Mary Mustapha also met with sweepers at Post Office and charged them to intensify efforts in a bid to make Kwara clean.

She pleaded with them to always stay back a while after doing their morning portion so as to ensure dirt is not littered again by careless road users.

While charging members of the public on the need to always keep their enivironment clean, the commissioner visited some shop owners for a one on one sensitization on the need for a healthy environment.

She urged immediate removal of dirt found at door step of any shop while the shop owners complied due to the manner of approach of the Governor's  aide.

She appealed to the general public to be law abiding citizens and maintain clean environment at all time, pointing out that, the present administration would not tolerate heaping of dirt anywhere in the public area especially, on road media.
