The Osun State University, Osun State, has called on the Nigerian government to create awareness about global developments and the environment.
He said, “There are things the government, industries, and people can do to promote awareness among citizens and educate them about what is going on in the world. Government should provide incentive to make people act in accordance with their actions so that they will behave the way we feel they should and those who default should be punished. The biggest culprit of environmental degradation is the industry. They release huge amount of unhealthy elements into the environment.
“As for individuals, you don’t run water anyhow when you are not using it, don’t put on bulb in the day time and so on.” Vice-Chancellor, UNIOSUN, Prof. Odunayo Adebooye, who was represented by the Deputy VC, Prof. Anthony Kola-Olusanya, said the theme was an interdisciplinary area of research that involved the various environmental sub-disciplines.
“It is geared towards employing humanistic questions about language, culture, values, ethics and responsibilities to address the globally pressing environmental challenges. In the last two to three decades, there have been growing concerns about the human and natural disruptions of the ecosystems.
