Oyo shuts Sumal Foods' illegal dumpsite
The Oyo State Government has shut down an illegal dumpsite being operated by Sumal Foods Ltd. in Oluyole Estate, Ibadan, after discovering the health hazards it poses to residents in the area. Aderonke Adedayo, the Chairman of the State Waste Management Task Force, took the decision after visiting the site with other members of the task force and the management team of Mottainai Recycling.

According to Mrs Adedayo, the dumpsite was filled with industrial and commercial wastes, as well as domestic wastes, all of which were posing a threat to the health of the residents in the area. The necessary legal actions will be taken against the manufacturing company, and an abatement notice will be served on the company to ensure compliance with the state's laws.

One of the members of the task force, Adekola Ayoade, pointed out that the offending company had contravened the land acquisition laws of Oyo State, and the right of the company the usage the land would be revoked by the Ministry of Lands and Housing. This would prevent the company from using the land for any purpose in the future.

The Managing Director of Mottainai Recycling, Mr Adey Adewuyi, urged residents and manufacturing companies to embrace Oyo State Government’s waste management policies for a healthy environment. He called on everyone to dispose of their waste in a responsible manner and to support the state government's efforts to keep the environment clean and safe.

The government's decision to shut down the illegal dumpsite is a welcome development, as it will help to protect the health of the residents in the area. The state government is committed to ensuring that all businesses operate in compliance with the state's laws and regulations, and any company that violates these laws will face legal consequences.
