Ogun State Waste Management Authority, has sealed two Chinese companies for

operating in dirty environments, with improper waste disposal.

The companies are Yibao Industrial Limited, Bara Village along the Sagamu, Abeokuta

Expressway and Ronchang Industrial Park, opposite Julius Berger yard Lagos -Ibadan

Expressway.

Special Adviser and Managing Director, Abayomi Hunye who led the enforcement team

said the action followed several warnings which were not heeded, adding that the two

companies were also found guilty of engaging the services of unaccredited waste

collectors to evacuate their waste in contravention of section 17 of the Ogun State

Waste Management Authority Law of 2020 as well as their continued prevention of the

assigned waste collectors to evacuate their waste from their facilities since 2021.

He said, their unaccredited waste collectors who operate at odd hours were also found

guilty of dumping waste on the Sagamu in Abeokuta and Lagos Ibadan Expressways

illegally, adding that, the state government would not sit back and watch the firms

damage the state by engaging in conduct that is not tolerated in their home country.

The OGWAMA boss, however, warned other companies engaging in similar conduct to

operate within the state’s waste management laws or risk facing sanctions and also

called on the Community Development Association and other Non-Governmental

Organizations to complement OGWAMA’s efforts by acting as whistle-blowers so that

more companies who are in the habit of improper waste management can be brought to

justice to further enhance the quality of life of residents of the state.
