Ekiti State government has been advised to employ more professional town planners into its service.
This is the suggestion of a professional town planner in Ekiti State, Mr. Bunmi Adeyanju while speaking with newsmen on to arbitrary construction of buildings in Ekiti State.
Mr. Adeyanju explained that lack of professional town planners in government establishments was responsible for construction of buildings without approval.
The town planning expert who hails from Agbado Ekiti pointed out that, if more professionals were employed, it would assist in controlling various irregularities being witnessed.
Mr. Adeyanju alleged that Gbonyin local government had only one town Planner covering the area, noting that it would be difficult for him to perform excellently considering the geographical land mark of the council area.
Adeyanju who is the Assistant Secretary General of Profesional Town Planners in Ekiti said that proper planning would aid development and healthy living.
He lamented a situation where people would construct petrol stations, factories and poultries in residential areas, saying such poses serious danger to health of the citizens.
“It is unprofessional to construct houses , shops, hotels and other structures without taking people’s health into consideration”.
“While putting edifices in place, contractors must consider free ventilation and access to roads like what we have in those developed countries”.
