 OJOKORO LCDA GETS COMMENDATION FOR CLEANER ENVIRONMENT

The Ojokoro Local Council Development Area has received a commendation from the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs, and Rural Development for maintaining a cleaner and healthier environment. A team of delegates from the ministry, led by Mr. Akindele visited the LCDA on October 6, 2025, to conduct an environmental assessment and evaluation.

During the visit, the team inspected the environment, markets, refuse collection system, pest control profile, and other sanitary conditions of the LCDA. The Executive Chairman of Ojokoro LCDA, Hon. Oluyemisi Adenike Rosiji, was praised for her efforts in improving the general outlook of the environment through the Environmental Health Department.

However, the team noted an area for improvement at Ayemidun Market Kola, where poor refuse disposal was observed due to the inefficiency of the Private Sector Participation (PSP) Operator attached to that environment. The team urged the Council to write to the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and copy the ministry to address this issue.

Hon. Rosiji commended the team for their visit and assessment, assuring that the Environmental Health Department would continue to work towards sanitizing the LCDA. This recognition highlights the Ojokoro LCDA's commitment to maintaining a clean environment, aligning with the government's vision for a healthier and more sustainable society.
