ONDO MOVES TO COMBACT MENANCE OF PLASTIC WASTE, FLOODING

- As Gov Aiyedatiwa promises timely support for flood victims

The Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa , has said that tackling the menace of plastic waste and flooding is a top priority for his administration as environmental degradation continues to threaten the ecosystem and human health.

Speaking at the 2024 OSEPA Summit tagged “Combating the menace of plastic pollution in Ondo State 3.0” held on Thursday, at the International Centre for Culture and Events (The Dome), Akure, Governor Aiyedatiwa reiterated his administration’s commitment to achieving a plastic-free environment in Ondo State.

The Governor commended the Ondo State Environmental Protection Agency (OSEPA) for its efforts and expressed satisfaction with the consistency of the annual summit since the agency’s creation in 2022.

“Plastic pollution remains a hydra-headed problem with devastating effects on our environment and the healthy existence of humanity,” the Governor noted, emphasizing the need for collaborative action to combat the issue.

The Governor highlighted the ongoing environmental challenges, including improper waste disposal and clogged waterways caused by plastics.

The Governor recalled recent flash floods in Ondo Town, expressing sympathy for affected residents and pledging that the state government would take necessary steps to assist victims and prevent future occurrences.

“Our administration has already taken bold steps to protect the environment. We’ve deployed amphibious excavators in each senatorial district to dredge waterways and canals, ensuring free water flow and safeguarding lives and property”, he said.

Governor Aiyedatiwa urged participants at the summit to generate innovative ideas on reducing plastic waste and align their recommendations with global standards, such as the United Nations’ educational campaigns for plastic pollution awareness.

“Let me use this unique opportunity to reiterate our avowed commitment to zero waste philosophy in our dear Sunshine State. In spite of the enormous responsibilities of OSEPA, I wish to charge you to continue to display your professional skills in ensuring the achievement of this target committed to you.

“I wish to reiterate the resolve of our administration to adopt the Extended Producer Responsibility (ER) which is a scheme to make manufacturers of some items be responsible for creating measures to take back and recycle the products they produce. I am glad that OSEPA is looking into this critical step.

“We will continue to support OSEPA’s efforts within the framework of environmental regulations and won’t allow reckless degradation of our environment”, the Governor added.

Governor Aiyedatiwa also addressed the need to streamline scavenging operations within the state, recognizing their value but pointing out health and safety concerns.

“Ondo State must set the standard for environmental management in Nigeria. Our recent ‘Light Up’ project, which has illuminated major roads, is already curbing nighttime waste dumping,” the Governor said.

The Minister of State for Environment, Dr. Razak Salako, in his remarks, stated that the federal government is working closely with the Ondo State government to address various environmental challenges.

He commended Governor Aiyedatiwa’s commitment to maintaining a cleaner environment, noting that the federal government is pleased with the progress made under his leadership.

Earlier, in his welcome address, the Special Adviser on Environment, Hon. Adeyemi Olayemi, acknowledged the governor’s unwavering support for OSEPA’s initiatives and praised the participation of environmental professionals at the summit.

Olayemi also expressed confidence that the summit’s outcomes would lead to practical solutions to plastic pollution and environmental degradation in Ondo State.

I’LL CONTINUE TO TAKE YOUR WELFARE AS PRIORITY, GOV AIYEDATIWA ASSURES WORKERS ON MAY DAY

- 2015 gratuity to be cleared soon; promotion to be fast-tracked

- Recruitment into health, education, other sectors to continue

- Gov appoints ex-NULGE leader as Special Adviser on Union Matters

Ondo state Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has said his administration will continue to promote industrial peace and operate an open and transparent governance, with the welfare of workers as a major priority of his administration.

The Governor stated this while addressing workers during the celebration of the 2024 Worker’s Day at the Gani Fawehimi Freedom Arcade, along Igbatoro road in Akure, on Wednesday.

Governor Aiyedatiwa expressed his delight in celebrating his first Workers' Day as the Governor of Ondo State, emphasizing the importance of the event amidst preparations for the upcoming gubernatorial election in the State.

Reflecting on the state's record of industrial peace, the Governor said the modest achievements of his administration could not have been possible without the commitment and dedication of workers.

The Governor said: “In demonstration of our commitment to the welfare of workers in the State, our administration is giving priority attention to the following, among others:

i. regular payment of salaries and pensions, steady payment of gratuity and payment of backlog of salaries. This has brought relief to both serving and retired officers;

ii. regular promotion of workers with financial backing is being prioritised. This is to keep motivating our workers for quality service delivery. The promotion exercise for the current year is ongoing and I have given the Head of Service the go ahead to commence next year’s promotion exercise before the close of the year to enable eligible workers get their 2025 promotion letter at the beginning of year 2025. This approach will make it possible for retiring officers to get their terminal promotion early enough to process their terminal benefits as appropriate;

iii. full implementation of the workers’ Contributory Health Insurance Scheme, ORANGHIS. The Scheme has provided access to quality and affordable healthcare services for all workers in the State. Our administration is also considering the inclusion of pensioners in the Scheme as doing so will provide them access to affordable necessary healthcare in their retirement years;

iv. monthly commitment of N200million for steady payment of inherited arrears of gratuities in addition to the special provision of over N1.2Billion to clear arrears of gratuities up to 2014. Efforts are also underway to settle arrears of year 2015 gratuities in one fell swoop in the course of the current year. Of course, I consider this and the monthly steady payment of outstanding gratuities more meaningful than the unsustainable interim arrangement of N10,000 Wage Award to each pensioners;

v. the steady recruitment into the State Public Service has been given priority attention as our administration has given new approval for the recruitment of the following categories of officers and the processes have commenced: Over 1,000 personnel in the health sector; and 2,000 personnel in the education sector.

vi. the upward review and payment of hazard allowance to health workers in the State and review of salaries and entry point of Medical Doctors are being implemented;

vii. implementation of tutors’ elongation of service from 35 to 40-year length of service and from 60 to 65 years of age respectively, has been approved to shore-up the dwindling staff strength in our public schools.

“I want to assure our workers and the generality of our people that Nigerian economy under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR is on the way to recovery. With the ongoing economic reforms coupled with the tenacity of Nigerians, let us be optimistic that things would fully turn around for the better, very soon.”

The Governor, at the event, announced the appointment of a former President of the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Comrade Bola Taiwo, as his Special Adviser on Union Matters.

In separate remarks at the ceremony, labour leaders in the state, including Comrade Victor Amoko, Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and his Trade Union Congress (TUC) counterpart, Comrade Clement Fatuase, praised Governor Aiyedatiwa for his unwavering support to Ondo State workers. They commended the administration's efforts in education, security, infrastructure, and healthcare, citing various commendable programs and interventions.

Earlier in his remark, Mr. Bayo Philip, the Head of Service, urged workers to exert their utmost efforts, assuring them that the governor is committed to improving their wages through the implementation of various measures.
