The legislature also asked for provision of necessary tools to environmental officials to make them function effectively in the society.

Presenting the motion, Hon. Adetiba-Olanrewaju, acknowledged the age-long ‘bad’ practice of people dumping refuse indiscriminately in the drainages whenever it rained.

He expressed worry that dumping of refuse in the drainage system had been one of the major causes of perennial flooding in various towns, leaving many people dead, while other victims experienced loss of valuable property worth millions of Naira.
