The chairman of the Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Mr Agbaje Lukmon Abiodun, has taken a bold and decisive step towards restoring environmental order in the council.
He has deployed smart and space-saving cleaning equipment to clear heaps of accumulated waste along the road median on the Camp Davies/Isefun Road, Ayobo.
The council chief expressed optimism that the intensive clean-up operation would directly tackle the long-standing issue of indiscriminate refuse dumping in the area.
He disclosed that he took this step because indiscriminate waste disposal poses serious environmental and safety risks to residents and commuters within the axis.
At the clean-up exercise, the Head of Environmental Development, Mrs Babajide Racheal, who represented the chairman, reiterated his administration’s zero-tolerance stance on environmental violations, calling on residents to take collective responsibility by properly disposing of waste through approved Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators.
“We will no longer tolerate actions that endanger public health and degrade our environment. Together, we must build a cleaner, safer, and healthier community,” Mr Agbaje stated.
As part of ongoing sanitation reforms, the council has strengthened monitoring mechanisms and enforcement strategies, including strict penalties for defaulters.
He reaffirmed his dedication to preserving the cleanliness and aesthetic appeal of Camp Davies/Isefun Road and the surrounding communities.
This clean-up campaign reflects the administration’s broader commitment to sustainable environmental management, improved infrastructure, and enhanced public health standards across the LCDA.
