The Ogun State Government has shut down an agro-processing company named, Supreme Agro Limited in Igbesa, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of the state. The state government said the action was in its continued efforts to ensure an environment free of any form of hazard.

The company was accused of engaging in serious industrial pollution that has destroyed the ecosystem of their host community. It was gathered that several complaints had been received from the Igbesa host community while subsequent verifications and warnings were done by the Ogun State Environmental Task Force.

According to the Commissioner, “rather than installing effluent plants that would contain the wastewater and remove hazardous components before discharging them to surrounding water bodies, the company bye-passed the plant and discharged the wastewater directly into the community, constituting an eyesore and impacting negatively on the environment.
