Covid-19 Prevention And Control: Why Ogun State May Be Left Behind by PAULAINA(m): 11:40am On Mar 28, 2020
From empirical data all around the world and particularly the recent development in Nigeria it is evident that Coronavirus is no respecter of religion, establishment , the rich, the poor , leadership, political affiliation or coloration, human social status just to mention but few .

Of course , this is not the best of time for health ministry vis-à-vis ministry of environment to wage a tirelessly monster war against the scourge of COVID-19 .However, if adequate measures and proactiveness is not taking against the by-product of coronavirus , the Nigeria fight against the pandemic will be all-motion-no-movement.

A case study is a poultry farm by the name Mukaz Farm along Ikorodu-Sagamu express way, right opposite the defunct Five-Star Cement factory at Mayor Bus Stop , Alasia , Ogijo, in Ogun State .The farm's dirty and unconventional treatment of poultry faeces with respect to the ALASIA host community is nothing but near-death experience.

Talking about the odour of the age long decomposing poultry faeces in the farm into the community may even be bearable but what of the toilets flies that invaded the farm's neighbouring streets all in the name of making money at the expense of the community members .

Even though the Poultry farms along that axis appear to have been exempted , am well aware that Ogun State Environmental Protection Agency asked the residing industries along the Ikorodu-Sagamu way to get recommendation letters from their host communities of which some of the organisation either did the right thing while others allegedly forged the document to be submitted to OGEPA.

Several delegations from ALASIA CDA to the farm owner have proved abortive . The last is the response from the farm owner , Alhaji Mukaz is that : " se e le ko petition mo ni abi e ro wipe e le dase mi duro ni ? " meaning are you people tired of writing petition and why do you think you have the capacity to disturb my business ?"

The implication of this is that while Ogun State ministry of health is trying to prevent her state from the incidences of coronavirus festering , the ministry of environment needs to look into Mukaz farm activities to the host communities if it follows the conventional poultry farm best standard practices .

If COVID-19 is no more airborne but droplets borne as we are made to know now , what is Ogun State Ministry of Environment waiting for if the hundreds of toilet flies coming from uncatered poultry faeces from Mukaz farm into the community may as well be carriers of this virus .

Several letter had been written in the past to Ogun State Environmental Protection Agency concerning polution and infections from this farm and others to curb their excesses but the community members had been asking who is regulating who between this farm and OGEPA ?

May Ogun State be wiser this time the entire Nigeria is in a precarious situation . A stitch in time saves nine .
