With Dolapo Fasawe, the Environment is Getting Better

All over the world, cries have been raised regarding the environment. However, people whose eyes have been peeled with tears over the condition of the environment are hopeful because of the commitment of passionate individuals like Dr. Dolapo Fasawe, the person in charge of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA). Even as she commits more and more of herself, improvements are easily identified in Lagos’ immediate environment.

One can control many things in life, but the natural environment is too big an element to be controlled by any one person. As a result, the contributions of people like Fasawe cannot be underestimated. This is the case in a place like Lagos where all sorts of economic activities are always underway. Thus, the fact that the natural environment in Lagos is still something to boast about can be attributed to the dedicated work that Fasawe and her people are putting in.

With LASEPA at her side, Fasawe has managed to make environmental sustainability the business of both the government and the people. It used to be that only the government cared about the conditions of the environment. However, through the contributions of Fasawe, many individuals, businesses, and communities have decided to take up the duty of environmental care and help ensure that their surroundings are kept clean and clear of ruinous components.

It is not the biggest surprise that Fasawe is capable of pulling together the efforts of individuals and corporate bodies. With her credentials as a public health professional, her passion cannot be feigned. As a consequence, those that she reaches out to are touched by her explanations and quickly commit to helping as well.
