The deputy speaker, Maria Oligbi-Edeko, who raised the alarm under a matter of public importance, noted that the indiscriminate dumping of refuse on roads and drains constituted a health hazard.

The motion under public importance was co-sponsored by the deputy speaker and 10 other lawmakers.

Oligbi-Edeko said that the waste emits offensive odour, is an eyesore, and reduces the aesthetic value of towns and cities in the state.

She noted, “The dumping of refuse and other waste materials was obstructing free flow of flood and causing flooding and gully erosion in the state.

According to her, dumping of refuse on major roads and markets constitutes health hazard especially with the outbreak of cholera in some parts of the country.

The deputy speaker, therefore, called on the local government chairmen to build refuse dump sites and set up monitoring teams to prevent the menace, especially at night.

She also called on health officers in the state to sensitise the people to the importance of proper waste disposal and keeping the environment clean.

The lawmakers unanimously supported the motion and called for implementing the monthly environmental sanitation exercise across the state.

The speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, directed the clerk of the House, Yahaya Omogbai, to forward clean copies of the resolution to relevant authorities for immediate action.
