The Environmental heath officers of the
Oriade Local Government Council Development Area (OLGCDA), tipped off shops
owners on the importance of making sure that their drainage are properly cleaned
to avoid lock up.
In Lagos state there are two general
sanitation days - Thursdays for the market people/shop owners and every last
Saturday of the month for residents/communities. This is aimed at keeping the
state neat at all times. Eko O Ni Baje O.
In Kirikiri town this law has been
adequately observed over the years since inception. Although there are some law
abiding citizens, others who find it hard to comply are not extinct. In order
to balance the compliance – contravene logarithmical equation there must be a
consequence.
During market/shop owner’s sanitation
exercise days that last from the hours of7 am to 10 am, many shops are locked
for various reasons such as failure to clean the drainage, surroundings. Others
may include transacting business at the time of the sanitation exercise, failure
to observe the exercise.
It was not without doubt that various
shop owners complain of sentiments, bias and incompetence of the environmental
officers as many of their claims were above-board.
In a one on one conversation with
Kirikiri news the health environmental officer made it clear that the public
may be too harsh in their complaints.
“So many people have shops and you
cannot please every one of them, many of them do not live in Kirikiri town and
we take caution because we want to do our job well. If you clean your shop,
drainage and its surroundings properly, you won’t fall a victim of lock up shop
and you will leave a health free life” advises the environmental officer.
“The need to provide proper drainage
channels and proper waste disposal facilities are keen to making the
environmental sanitation work both for the government, shop owners, traders and
even the environmental officers” a shop owner said.
The environment can be made inhabitable
for business and living only by the occupants. Clean your environment regularly
and infections and diseases will be at arm’s length. Health is wealth.
Our motto remains…
