Kwara Government Seeks Military Collaboration for Cleaner State
According to a news report from Punch, the Kwara State Government has sought the collaboration of Brig. Gen. Olufemi Williams, the 22 Brigade Commander, to sustain a cleaner Kwara.
This was disclosed by the Commissioner for Environment, Hajia Nafisat Buge, on Saturday during her courtesy visit to the 22 Brigade Commander at Sobi headquarters, Ilorin.
She said, “We are here to seek the collaboration of the Nigerian Army to achieve a cleaner Kwara, most especially on the enforcement of laws during the monthly sanitation exercise, as well as curbing deforestation, to sustain a clean and hygienic environment capable of paving the way for healthy living.”
A statement by the Press Secretary in the ministry, Esther Abolarinwa, made available to the press on Sunday, revealed that indiscriminate dumping of waste had become rampant in the metropolis, which might lead to the outbreak of cholera currently ravaging the country.
The commissioner reiterated the commitment of the state government, under the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, to make the environment safe and healthy for residents.
Responding, Brig Gen Williams commended the governor's efforts at repositioning the state to be safe for healthy living and also attractive to investors for even development.
He assured of the readiness of the military to give support in enforcing environmental laws, to achieve a cleaner Kwara.
