Ekiti State Government has fumigated the main dumpsite in the State capital situated along Ilokun to protect residents and prevent health hazards.
The State Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Erelu Tosin Aluko Ajisafe said that the move was to make the sites safer for waste management operations.
Mrs. Aluko said by making the sites safer, there would be a reduction in health risks to the communities housing the dumpsites, adding that the dumpsites play critical roles in the waste management chain, paving way for the attainment of the agency’s vision of establishing a consistent cleaner environment.
