KWEPA pays familiarization visit to Unilorin 


The Kwara State Environmental Protection Agency (KWEPA), paid  a sanitary familiarization visit to the University of Ilorin recently.

The visit, which was led by the General Manager of the Agency, Alhaji Sa’ad Ayuba Danmusa, was done in order to assess the University's environmental sanitation activities. 

In his remarks, Alhaji Danmusa said, “We are here today to make a familiarization visit with the University of Ilorin and to inspect the institution to see how they manage their wastes in strategic areas like administrative blocks, clinic, hostels, food vendors and other places and to carry out an environmental sanitation activity around the school premises”. 

The Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Sulyman Age Abdulkareem, in his welcome remark in his office, appreciated the efforts of the agency in visiting the institution and said they were ready to cooperate with the agency and comply with their recommendations and  advice on the issue of sanitation.

According to the V.C., “There are officers on ground, not only on this campus, in the medical side, we have officers who regularly go round and make sure that people are doing the right thing. We have people who go from one restaurant to the other to make sure that rules are obeyed so that we won’t have cholera outbreak. So Please, any advice you can give us is highly welcome and I am sure my people will cooperate and comply with you”. 

The school Medical Director, Dr. Rasheed Odunola, who is also in charge of school environmental sanitation, led the KWEPA team to strategic areas in the school for a proper sanitary inspection by the Agency.
