The Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun has established the State Waste Management Authority, OGWAMA.
This is part of efforts to improve waste disposal and create a clean and healthy environment.
The Governor also designated Mr Ola Oresanya as the Special Adviser to oversee waste evacuation and management in the State.
The adviser who had since resumed duty said waste managers in the state must have at least two compatible evidences of three years tax payment to the Ogun State Government and valid registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission.
Mr Oresanya also made it known that the Agency would become fully operational in January and would partner with contractors and investors in the sector for optimal performance.
He therefore urged waste managers to be alive to their responsibilities as the state government is determined to have a clean, healthy environment through the newly established waste management authority.
