The National Orientation Agency,
NOA, has again enjoined Lagosians to behave responsively by properly disposing
pure water sachet after drinking the water inside it.
Mr. Waheed Ishola,the Lagos
Director of the NOA, stressed the point an interaction with newsmen in Lagos.
Ishola explained that pure water
sachets and other nylon materials which are non-degradable are the major causes
of flooding by blocking drainages.
He lamented that despite
grass root sensitization exercises by the agency and other related organisations, people
still found it difficult to stop disposing refuse indiscriminately.
He also called on the need to start
holding commercial water producers accountable for the environmental disasters caused by
the materials they used in packaging the products.
