Our environment is one of the important aspects that every student needs to be mindful of. The environment is made up the things around us, for one to live in a healthy condition; there is the need to make sure that the environment is tidy and not only that, but to see to it that the physical health is in a good condition. Most students have developed the habit of littering the environment and other students have also not realized that when the environment is full of wasteful substance the outcome will be very tremendous. However some student on campus dump refuse like banana peels pure water sachet and not mentioning the lecture halls which at times is full of refuse.
The increase menace of wasteful substances has negative effect on our environment. It destroys the beauty of the environment, tarnishes the image of the institution and not only that but it can also lead to the breeding of mosquitoes, environmental degradation and harmful animals from bushy areas. As part of the effort to promote cleanliness on campus surrounding by the campus journalist association, some individuals were interviewed. Below were their opinions towards the environment.
We interviewed a security officer and he made this statement, “I think the environment can be made cleaner than it is at the moment. As to those in charge of making the surroundings clean, they are doing a marvelous job but it’s also up to the students to also preserve the campus environment”.
A cleaner noted that they are doing their best with the cleaning of the campus environment. However the challenges they are encountering include insufficient brooms to aid in the cleaning process. They hope to do a much better job when the necessary materials are made available.
The National Vice President of Promags, he admitted that the dustbins are enough and have been placed at vantage points and this has made the environment neat. The only setback he has with the surroundings is the wash rooms which are badly kept. The sight of the place is so atrocious with a bad stink. A student noted that the environment is neat but a larger portion of the environment is very bushy which serves as a breeding area for snakes and other undomesticated flora and fauna. In addition the trees planted around which aids in providing shades breeds lots of insects and will appeal to the authorities if they can spray those trees.

A visitor Compared C-Poly surroundings to other institution, and commended the institution for doing a great job. He added “You have a very neat environment and I also observed that dustbins have been displayed at various locations to aid in proper disposal of waste products”.
In conclusion, a lot of people consider we have very neat surroundings and must keep it up. Aside the neatness of the campus environment, some challenges were encountered and these involves; the insufficient cleaning materials, we will plead with the authorities to provide the essential materials for the cleaning department, to reach it maximum tidiness.
Furthermore, it was observed that, though the surroundings were tidy, the washrooms were the reverse. This we will entreat our workers to try and make the place as neat as they can since this is where most contagious diseases can be contacted. We will also appeal to the authorities to provide the workers with the disinfectants to give the washrooms a superior stench.
However, we realize that, some parts of the surroundings were very bushy and we will plead with the authorities to see to that the bushy areas are well weeded.
Finally, as the saying goes that cleanliness is next to godliness we will urge the authorities of the institutions to do something concerning the tress which serves as shades to both students as well as guests. The management needs to provide educational programs for the entire student body to educate them on the dangers of environmental pollution and also put in place certain measures to keep the environment clean. Let us protect our physical environment for a healthy life.
