Uncontrolled mining activities causing ecological disasters in Ogun – Gov. Abiodun

Governor Dapo Abiodun has attributed the cause of most erosions in Ogun State to the activities of those who indiscriminately mine laterite and other natural resources in the state.

The governor said members of the House of Representatives’ Committee on Ecological Fund should impress on the federal agencies in charge of mining to monitor the activities of miners to prevent ecological disasters in the country.

Abiodun made the call when he received members of the House of Representatives Committee on Ecological Fund, who paid him a courtesy call at his office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

The governor, who was represented by his Deputy, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele, said his administration is ready to work with the federal government agencies to stop the degradation of the environment.
