The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has disclosed that aged and physically-challenged will receive special waste management services, for their invaluable contributions to the development of the State during their active years.
Governor Abiodun made this known in Abeokuta, when he met with the waste Private Sector Participants (PSP), Waste Managers and Vendors, saying the aged deserved the special attention and services, while the physically-challenged rather being burdened should be shown care.
Abiodun, represented by his Special Adviser on Environment and Chief Executive Officer of the Ogun State Waste Management Authority (OGWAMA), Mr. Ola Oresanya, directed the waste PSP to forward names and addresses of those categories of residents in their area of operations to the Authority, for proper implementation of the special services.
He charged them to be efficient in service delivery, particularly during the forthcoming festive period, adding that they have social contract with the people by collecting the wastes regularly for proper disposal.
The Governor also reminded the residents on the need to stop dumping refuse on roadsides and medians, saying the State is known for cleanliness, as the government would continue to maintain the standard.
