The Olasoju Adebayo-led administration of Isolo LCDA isn’t sitting on its oars and leaving anything to chance in ensuring a flood-free community as the council’s Department of Environment commenced desilting & carting away on the network of drainages in the council area with Akinbaye street being the first port-of-call on Wednesday.
The routine exercise saw workers dipping into the drainage on both sides of the street to unearth the facility to its depth while personnel of the supervising Environment Dept.- ensured that the job went on smoothly and seamlessly.
Though, among the council’s traditional round-the-year undertaking, this present desilting exercise is coming earlier than scheduled given the urgent need to mitigate the flooding occasioned by the heavy rains of July at Akinbaye (Down) as noted by the council boss.
Speaking to newsmen, the Head of Environmental Department, San. Toyin Okunola confirmed that the efforts will be extended to other areas requiring attention noting that adequate provision has been made for prompt evacuation of the wastes from the roadside as soon as they dry up.
Mrs. Okunola meanwhile, commended the road users and residents for their cooperation, she restated the council boss’ message of responsible waste disposal highlighting the consequences of indiscriminate waste disposal on the community.
