 And keeping our environment clean at all times is the responsibility of all on the system message from speakers. At this year's Work for Nature campaign hosted by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation, NCF. The event which was organized at Kushafel local government area in Lake Estates was attended by officials of the Lake Estates government as well as members of the public. A correspondent Paul George was there. This year's Work for Nature sensitization the 15th edition tagged solutions to plastic pollution highlights the importance of preserving nature and improving the quality of life across the state. From Kushafel local government secretariat down to Good Road, the volunteers work bearing placards with different inscriptions sensitizing the public on the need to keep the environment clean. The director general of the NCF, Joseph Onoja, who was represented by Ali Olayde says waste not properly disposed of is causing pollution to the environment. The reason for the advocacy is to change people initiative and idea about how they manage their waste. It is expected that every household should keep at least two separate waste systems whereby other waste are kept in one and plastic waste are kept separate because plastic waste now make money from those used plastic waste so they can actually resell and make money and people will use it for better purpose. Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources Honourable Wahab Tokumbo represented by Dr. Asan Sanut says all hands must be on deck to ensure a clean and healthy environment. In the same vein, Chairman Kushafel Local Government Moyo Ogulewe expressed delight that the campaign was brought to his domain. He assured the organizers that he will always give his support to ensure a clean Lagos State. All hands must be on deck to ensure that we manage the maintenance of plastic pollution in the environment and he has preached the economic aspect of it where these things could be converted to money that just thrown it away. He mentioned the effort of the ministry where it has been piloted with a bank. You take your plastic waste to the bank, you collect money or you collect in cash or in kind and this, we believe, will remove whatever is going to the environment and then for use, purpose and use. I'm delighted these are things that the state government and the local government should be doing every month. About 2.5 million tonnes of waste is generated from plastic every year in Nigeria and we must find a solution to this. I've signed for it and the most important thing is we must deliver on our promises as a government. The students are not left out in the program as they promise to do the right thing by disposing off their waste properly. I would like to tell them that they should put it in practice to make a proper disposal of the waste in the proper place in the right place as we have the dustbin for plastic, nylon and so on disposal share. They should practice it in order to keep our environment clean. What we need to do to keep our environment clean is by dropping our waste in the dustbin, by keeping our environment clean, not littering the ground. Anytime we eat, anytime we snack, even though there's not any dustbin around us, we can't just keep the dust in our pockets or anywhere or hand it down and anytime we go to see any dustbin around us, we can't just drop it inside. We can't just continue keeping that on and can't make Nigeria The campaign held simultaneously at three different locations, Ikeja, Koshofeu Gudu and Lagos Island East local government areas.
