The communities of Okeonitea, Rasco, Fiwasaye and Gbomi are those affected by flood in Osun state.
The governor however expressed his view in a statement during a tour by Semiu Okanlawon, the Media Aide to the Governor, saying, “huge accumulation of wastes remained a major invitation to flooding in the state’’ as it blocked the waterways.
According to Okanlawon, the governor appealed to the people of the state to be hygienic and to cooperate with the state government in maintaining good liveable environment.
“Our people must henceforth obey government sanitation control and the collection of waste that we put in place. If we religiously follow it, we will never experience this devastating flooding, everyone is urged to dispose his or her waste responsibly,” but also expressed sympathy with those affected by the recent flooding .
“Since 2011, the government has been embarking on massive dredging of waterways in all parts of the state in order to prevent such disaster. As a matter of fact, we are still very much indebted to those who normally work with us to ensure the cleaning of our waterways. Our government deeply regrets the flooding that has affected our people,”
