OGUN RESIDENTS RAISE CONCERNS OVER DUMPSITE, DILAPIDATED ROAD
Residents and business owners in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State have called for urgent intervention over the condition of a major dumpsite and the poor state of the Sholu-Kajola Road.
According to community members, the dumpsite, located close to commercial and residential areas, has become a source of environmental concern due to persistent foul odours, increased fly infestation, and fears of potential health risks.
Traders in the area say the situation has negatively affected business activities, with some customers avoiding the market because of the unpleasant conditions.
Residents also expressed concern over the deteriorating condition of the road, noting that it becomes increasingly difficult to use during the rainy season, posing challenges for commuters and transport operators.
Stakeholders have urged the relevant authorities to improve waste management practices and rehabilitate the road to enhance public health, safety, and economic activities in the community.
