Residents of Osun State are groaning over the worsening dirtiness of the state capital since the corps of Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme (OYES) were sacked by the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Members of the corps, saddled with the responsibility of sweeping and cleaning public places, were sacked since 2022 and no replacements have been made.
The Nation observed that the state capital, Osogbo, is becoming dirtier and many public places are becoming an eyesore. It was also noted that the Osun State Waste Management (OSWM) has not been performing its statutory role of packing waste from homes.
Places visited include Kobo, Ota-Efun, Powerline, Odi-Olowo, Alekuwodo, Ogo-Oluwa, Ayetoro, Capital, Old-Garage, Africa and some neighbouring towns..
Commissioner for Environment and Sanitation Adejoorin Mayowa declined calls and refused to respond to texts messages.
