Less than 24 hours after declaring a State of Emergency on refuse collection and waste management in the state, Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, led Ibadan Clean-up exercise to clear dirts off the street.
PM News gathered that the governor who went around the state capital to clean environments went with the State executive council around 1 a.m on Tuesday.
The Governor, in statement earlier, had said that waste management has become a matter of emergency which he said is the business of all political appointees, the Permanent Secretaries, and the workforce.
Speaking with PM News in a telephone conversation, Kazeem Bolarinwa, Special Adviser to the governor on Youth and Sports said the governor’s action was a show of commitment and not a showoff.
In his words, “His excellency is not a showoff or a political exhibition. What he did yesterday was just a show of commitment.”
