On dumping site, Sanitarian Ola urged the state government to create more dumping sites so as to accommodate more refuse in the state, he said “The dumping site we have cannot accommodate the refuse any more, we need more sir.” Also, to make their job more effective, Sanitarian Ola appealed to the state government to employ at least fifteen (15) sanitation officers per local government, as this would compliment their efforts in keeping our environment clean.
