Speaking at Sabo Community, Mokola, Ibadan, the team\u00a0urged leaders of the Hausa community to ensure they follow the laid down protocols on how to contain the spread of diseases, which could be caused by a dirty environment.<\/p>\n
\n
According to the team, \u201cadherence to the basic guidelines will help keep the community safe\u201d.<\/p>\n
The team also engaged the community leaders and members on the cons of disposing their wastes on the median, adding that it is important to henceforth properly dispose of their refuse in government approved trucks.<\/p>\n

They appealed to the Hausa community to consider the dangers of living in a dirty environment, and its implication on their health.<\/p>\n
\n

Responding, the Seriki Hausawa of Ibadanland, Alhaji Dahiru Zungeru pledged the community\u2019s readiness to adhere to Government\u2019s directives on ways to dispose of their waste.<\/p>\n
