The stream in this part of Ilorin is filled with plastic waste and stagnant runoff. People live beside it and breathe it every day. A major tobacco company operates close to this corridor, yet the surrounding environment remains in this state. Government agencies also see this location and nothing changes.

Industries working here should support real cleanup efforts and invest in community health. Government must enforce proper waste control and protect the residents who depend on this area. Public health should not be ignored. Kwara State deserves leaders and companies that act, not look away.

Clean water is a fundamental human right. Protecting our waterways from this deluge of waste is not a choice, it is a moral imperative.

Microplastics in Oja Iya, Ilorin, Kwara state do not stay in the water. They move into food, air, and the bodies of the people who live around it. This river shows the cost. Every fragment here is a quiet threat to community health. We are raising our voice because people deserve better. Grace Life Foundation For Social Impacts is pushing for cleaner rivers, safer water, and evidence that drives action!

The water is gone. The life is gone. What you see here flows into our bodies, our food, our children. Microplastics don’t disappear. They break us down slowly. We need action. We need cleanup. We need accountability. This should never be normal.

The smallest plastics reach all of us.You drink them. You breathe them. This is why Grace Life Foundation For Social Impacts is launching a nationwide watch to protect every home, every family and every future in 2026.
