Hon. Okey-Joe Onuakalusi, the lawmaker representing Oshodi/Isolo Constituency 2, has expressed disappointment over the deplorable state of sanitation in his constituency, particularly in Okota.

The area has been plagued by indiscriminate waste dumping, clogged drains, and heaps of refuse, creating an eyesore and a health hazard for residents.

In a letter addressed to the Managing Director of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), Hon. Okey-Joe lamented the poor state of cleanliness in the area, citing the need for urgent attention.

He noted that the filth and waste have become a recurring problem, with many residents suffering from the consequences of poor sanitation.

 

While commending LAWMA for clearing dirt from some streets in Okota, Hon. Okey-Joe noted that several other streets remain uncleared, contributing to the overall poor sanitation in the constituency.

He emphasized that the agency’s efforts, although appreciated, are incomplete without a comprehensive cleanup of the entire area.

The lawmaker has called on LAWMA to extend the cleaning exercise to the remaining streets in Okota, stressing the need for a comprehensive cleanup of the area.

He also urged the agency to deploy more waste collection trucks and personnel to the constituency to enhance waste management services.

Furthermore, Hon. Okey-Joe proposed a collaboration with LAWMA to organize “Operation keep Oshodi /Isolo Clean” aimed at promoting environmental awareness, education, and community engagement.

The event, which will feature educational sessions, distribution of waste bags, and clean-up exercises, is expected to promote a cleaner environment and foster a sense of community responsibility.

The proposed “Operation keep Oshodi /Isolo Clean” will also provide an opportunity for residents to learn about proper waste disposal practices, recycling, and the importance of maintaining a clean environment.

Hon. Okey-Joe believes that this initiative will not only improve the sanitation situation in the constituency but also promote a culture of environmental stewardship among residents.

In addition, Hon. Okey-Joe urged residents to take responsibility for their environment by paying their LAWMA dues promptly.

He emphasized that the payment of these dues is crucial in enabling LAWMA to provide effective waste management services, and encouraged residents to cooperate with the agency to achieve a cleaner and healthier environment.

“As residents, it is our responsibility to ensure that we pay our LAWMA dues on time, this will enable the agency to provide the necessary services to keep our environment clean,” Hon. Okey-Joe said.

Hon. Okey-Joe’s intervention highlights the need for LAWMA to intensify efforts in addressing the sanitation challenges in Oshodi/Isolo Constituency 2. The development has sparked concerns among residents, who are calling for improved waste management services in the area.

Many have expressed frustration over the poor state of sanitation, citing the need for urgent action to prevent health risks and environmental degradation.

As the constituency awaits LAWMA’s response, residents are optimistic that the proposed Environmental Day will mark a new beginning in the fight against filth and environmental degradation in Oshodi/Isolo.

They hope that the initiative will lead to sustained efforts to improve waste management services and promote a cleaner, healthier environment for all.

The letter has sparked a renewed call for action, with residents and stakeholders urging LAWMA to take concrete steps to address the sanitation challenges in Oshodi/Isolo Constituency 2.

As the agency considers Hon. Okey-Joe’s proposal, residents are eagerly awaiting a positive response that will bring relief to the area.

In related news, environmental experts have emphasized the importance of proper waste management in preventing health risks and promoting sustainable development.

They have called on government agencies and stakeholders to work together to address the sanitation challenges facing communities like Oshodi/Isolo, highlighting the need for a multi-faceted approach to environmental management.

The situation in Oshodi/Isolo Constituency 2 serves as a reminder of the need for sustained efforts to promote environmental awareness and improve waste management services in communities across Lagos State.

As Hon. Okey-Joe and LAWMA work together to address the sanitation challenges in the area, residents are hopeful that their efforts will yield positive results and improve the quality of life for all.
