Oyebanji said recurrent building wreckage being witnessed in some communities could have been averted if residents embraced tree planting that could break destructive wind during torrential downpours. The Governor made the comments in Itapaji Ekiti, Ikole Local Government Area on Monday, while inspecting some buildings that were destroyed by a storm in the town last weekend.
'We thank God that nobody died, but losing property under this avoidable situation is painful. We want our people to embrace tree planting around their houses. Trees are windbreakers that can help us protect our structures against damage. 'Besides tree planting, we should endeavour to carry out regular turnaround maintenance on our buildings. This is very essential to prevent us from losing our buildings to rainstorms', Oyebanji stated.
