STERN WARNING FROM GOVERNOR AMOSUN TO MANUFACTURERS ON ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION

"Undoubtedly, industrialization plays a vital role in the socio-economic development of any state, it is a panacea for the eradication of poverty and unemployment; industrilaization process involves tapping natural resources to meet the needs of mankind. It is however important that we strike a balance in the way we explore and exploit these resources without destroying the ecosystem."

This is the warning to Manufacturers from The Governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun in the just concluded 32nd Annual General Meeting of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) held in Ota area of Ogun State.

The Governor who was representated by the state Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Mr. Bimbo Ashiru, went ahead to urge the manufacturers and other stakeholders to be of help to the Government in protecting the Environment.

He did not fail to commend and appreciate MAN for their efforts in educating their members on good industrial waste disposal system and curbing degradation in the course of their business and He promised to utilize the cordial relationship between MAN and the State Government to improve the commercial status of the state.

 The Climate Action Group,  an NGO in Nigeria focused on environment and climate change has recently launched a program tagged 'Catch Them Young'. This program as expressed in writing on their Facebook handle is all about involving children in taking action for Climate change towards mitigating the adverse effects of Climate change on our environment for sustainable development.  The project aims at orienting and sensitizing children in primary and junior secondary schools on what climate change deforestation and indiscriminate cutting down of trees are all about and their effect on the environment, also make the children know the importance of tree planting, empower and induce the culture of tree planting exercise in children as the leaders of tomorrow and have an eco-friendly environment where both the present and future generations will enjoy and protect.
