The Osun State Government has threatened to shut down the operation of Prism Steel Mills, Ikirun, if it does not comply with the health and safety recommendations.
The state gave the warning on Friday during an inspection tour of officials of the State’s Ministry of Environment and Sanitation to the industry.
The officials of the state Government had, last year, conducted an Environmental Audit on the facilities of Prism Steel Mills, Ikirun, and Ife Iron and Steel Company.
The state government recommended that the Steel Mills should, among other things, install a Pollution Abatement Plant (PAP) to considerably reduce the effect of steel production from metal scraps on the atmosphere, environment, and human life.
