Five shops and relaxation pub were on Thursday demolished while a filling station was sealed by the Oyo State Government for violating the environmental law on building regulations and failure to carry out the weekly sanitation exercise.

The filling station at Orita Challenge in Ibadan was sealed for accommodating a filthy drainage lane which environmental officers alleged exposed residents to varying degrees of environmental hazards.

According to the Director of Engineering and Beautification, Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, Engr. Moshood Adeola who led the enforcement team during the weekly environmental sanitation exercise at Orita Challenge in Ibadan, the government would not relent in enforcing the best environmental culture in the people for the sake of good living.

The disobedience of the shop owners to vacate the premises, being a set back for the road led to this demolition. Despite the abatement notices served on them for more than six months to vacate the premises as the continued existence of the illegal structures constituted an environmental nuisance, they did not yield and we have to come and pull the structures down.

"Their offences range from noise and air pollution, evidence of open defecation accommodating illicit drug users within the environment and that is why those shops were pulled down.

"Despite the effort of Oyo State Government in maintaining a suitable and sustainable environment for all and sundry some people still go ahead engaging in street trading and non-adherence to environmental laws.

"It is on record that this administration will not renounce its stance of zero tolerance on environmental disorderliness" he added

Engr. Adeola added that the Government was compelled to partially demolish the structures as a warning, having served the owners series of notices which they failed to comply with within the statutory notice period

He reiterated that as soon as the State mobile court is established, anyone caught violating the environmental laws or causing environmental nuisance would be punished accordingly and immediately on being arrested.

"We call on those violating environmental laws or constituting a nuisance to the environment to desist from the act else they would face the wrath of the government. The moment State mobile courts go into operation, it will be instant judgement for violators," he said.

Ajise bi Oyo...

seyi wil probably demolish 2/3 of ibadan ooo. Very acient houses most especially sango down to eleyele. Rusty structures everywhere yet the sons/daughters of the late owners of the house will be feeling funky, many of the houses with plenty family wahala too. Ibadan, the face of SW, Nigeria deserve better.

He should also find something to do about the noise pollution that churches cause in Ibadan presently.

Too many churches in residential areas. Noise pollution is a global health issue that needs urgent attention.

That is a good idea the government can not be cleaning your mess for you.

the problem is they derive joy in dirtiness, thugery and staying out of school. Once you are fighting these things you automatically become their enemy. I don't know why and how people will hate education that much. I'm reffering to ibadan here though. As for the rest of oyo state most especially from ogbomoso, oyo, they really might not like him for natural cause.

Oyo state is one of the toughest to govern.

Rather why not upgrade
