Last Warning: Oyo Government Gives Private Farm 14-Day Ultimatum to Adjust Over Environmental Violations in Ibadan or Risk Shutdown
The Oyo State government, through the State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority (OYRLEA) has issued a fresh 14-day compliance notice to a private farm located at Challenge, Ibadan, over its failure to comply with environmental directives earlier issued to the company.
The notice was served by OYRLEA, in collaboration with health officers from the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources.
The joint-team carried out a follow-up inspection, after the expiration of a 21-day Notice to Abate Nuisance previously served on the company on November 10, 2025, over alleged environmental violations.
The earlier enforcement notice was reportedly issued due to improper wastewater management and the discharge of untreated wastes into public water bodies.
During the latest inspection, enforcement officers observed that the company had not commenced any visible corrective action on the identified infractions.
Responding to the observations, the Human Resources and Administration Manager of the company, Alhaji Ebunade Oloyeede, told the inspection team that the firm had engaged a consultant to prepare plans for corrections and adjustments.
Following this, OYRLEA directed the company to report to the Authority within 14 days with verifiable evidence of the consultant’s engagement, project drawings, and proof of submission of its letter to the ministry.
The Authority warned that failure to comply within the window given would attract further enforcement action in line with relevant environmental and public health laws of Oyo State.
