“In Ogun State..., the picture is as bad as it is nationally. We have a total of 237 environmental health officers on the register from the state out of which 107 are above 50 years of age. 70 are between 30 to 35 years of age, and none is below 30 years of age. It may interest you to know that the last employment of environmental health officers in Ogun State was in 2006. “What this data show is that if nothing is done to recruit younger officers in the state services in the next five years, the profession may lose up to 80 per cent of the number on the register presently and this will exacerbate a situation that is already in crisis.” - Augustine EBISIKE, Registrar, Environmental Health Officers Registration Council of Nigeria (EHORCN)
