Ekiti residents warned against bush-burning

Mr Saheed Akiode, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in Ekiti has warned residents against indiscriminate bush-burning during the dry season, to avert disasters.

Akiode gave the warning on Tuesday in Ado-Ekiti.

He noted that some people imbibed the habit of indiscriminate bush burning as soon as the dry season sets in.

According to him, such practice has resulted to the destruction of valuable property.

He also underscored the need to maintain a clean environment at all times to prevent the outbreak of diseases.

The coordinator further advised the residents to utilise waste bins provided by the state government on every street.
