The Ogun State Commissioner for Environment, Ola Oresanya, alongside the general manager of the State Environmental Protection Agency (OGEPA), Kehinde Bello, on Tuesday visited Our Lady of Apostle Primary School in Ijebu-Ode following a suspected chemical leak in the area.

Recall that last week Wednesday, a strange chemical smell was perceived in the school premises, shortly after the assembly session

making it difficult for many students and staff to breathe.

This resulted to the admission of 30 students and two teachers at the State General Hospital, Ijebu Ode.

According to the Vice Principal, Mrs. Adeola Borogun, several students began vomiting and fainting, forcing the school management to call for ambulances.

Reacting to the incident, Governor Dapo Abiodun ordered the immediate closure and full investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident.

DAILY POST reports that Tuesday’s visit was part of the state government response to assess the situation and ensure the safety of students, staff, and residents within the affected environment.

During the inspection, Kehinde Bello also visited a neighbouring school, Sacred Heart Catholic College, to evaluate the impact of the incident and reassure the school authorities of the government’s swift intervention.

The OGEPA boss, further proceeded to the State Hospital in Ijebu-Ode, where some students affected by the suspected chemical leak are currently receiving medical treatment.

The State government, through OGEPA, reassured residents and school authorities that investigations were ongoing and that necessary measures would be taken to safeguard public health and prevent a recurrence of such incident.
