Ogun State introduced community service as punishment for residents caught dumping refuse on roads, shifting from monetary fines. Commissioner Ola Oresanya announced this during an advisory council meeting, stressing that streets are not dump sites and waste should be left for Private Sector Participants (PSPs).
Governor Dapo Abiodun is investing in new equipment for environmental management, including trucks for OGWAMA and private sectors. The ministry is also addressing noise pollution and inspecting gas plants for safety compliance, encouraging public reporting of disturbances.
