By Folake Oye

Osun State Government has stepped up efforts to make the environment clean for healthy living.

The Senior Special Assistant to the State Governor on Sanitation, Mr Pelumi Ojo stated this when he led a sensitization campaign ‘Operation Keep Osun Clean’ to the heart of Osogbo, in an effort to clean the environment.

He emphasised that the sensitization campaign was meant to let the people know the adverse effects of a dirty environment.

While advising the people to take advantage of the waste they generate and turn it into wealth, Mr Ojo said the government was ready to give them the necessary support to make the environment clean.

Also speaking, the Director of Environmental Health and Sanitation, Osun State Ministry of Environment and Sanitation, Mr Wale Akala noted that the campaign was in response to the complaint received that Osogbo is dirty.

The campaign, which commenced from the palace of Ataoja of Osogbo, led the team including market women and sanitation officers to Oja-Oba market through Ibokun road during which people trooped out to dump their waste in the refuse truck provided for the purpose.
