The Special Adviser to the Governor on Environment/Chief Executive Officer of OGWAMA, Mr. Ola Oresanya, who disclosed this during the flag-off of the exercise on Thursday, said indiscriminate disposal of waste into the Ogun River, contributes immensely to the perennial challenge of flooding. He said: “This market, which is the largest cattle market in the Southwest, is the gateway to Ogun State, and as good as it is, it has the challenge of environmental pollution, especially disposal of wastes into the Ogun River. Whatever happens to the river affects people using the water. The fact is that we don’t want these wastes to go into the river. Our effort is basically to control the wastes.

“The Kara market you are seeing today will change. We are preserving the market. The state government is looking at putting recycling plant here, to recycle the wastes. If this comes to fruition, it will ensure job creation and other opportunities for people.”Oresanya noted that fence would be constructed to demarcate where the cattle are placed and the road, adding that wastes will be evacuated on daily basis.
