The National Association of Seadogs otherwise known as Pyrates Confraternity, Abeokuta Chapter has expressed its displeasure over the manner through which waste disposals are carried out by unscrupulous indigenes within the state metropolis, which could lead to pandemics, and what may likely to play out as a result of the dangerous to people’s health and carelessness to human lifestyles.

Pyrates made the expression during a courtesy visit to the Ogun State Commissioner for Environment, Mr Oladimeji Oresanya.

The group noted that the visit was part of its usual concern and humanitarian gestures towards building a better Nigeria.

It maintained that society has been plagued with numerous diseases which have culminated in the growing loss of lives due to the non-challant attitude of the people towards living a good and healthy lifestyle, who is now the receiver of the unfortunate eventualities, which is what is playing out these days with the recent Cholera outbreak.

Identifying what could be a serious menace and threat to human existence, and in a bid to promote a healthy environment, Ash Montana Deck in collaboration with Grundziro Deck and Batavia Subsea Deck of the Association has donated Environmental Supportive Items to Ogun State Government towards enhancing good and cleaning environment.

Among the items donated to complement the efforts of the state government in the campaign for a healthy environment are customised reflective cleaning uniforms, 2 waste bins (1-litre capacity each), and 4 ‘No Refuse Dump Boards’.

Ash Montana Deck said the donation which was part of its social responsibility role and a supportive move to the state government.

The presentation of the items was held at the Ogun State Waste Management Authority (OGWAMA) Secretariat, IBB Boulevard, Abeokuta where the Ogun State Commissioner for Environment, Mr Oladimeji Oresanya was present to receive them.

In his appreciation speech, the commissioner expressed his profound gratitude to the Deck and affirmed that the logo of Deck Association glued on the reflective sweepers uniform would be protected by all means as he promised he would personally guide it jealously.
