Every April 22, the world pauses to reflect on one shared responsibility—protecting the planet we all call home. Celebrated globally as Earth Day, this day inspires collective action toward climate awareness, environmental education, and sustainable living.
This year, that global message finds a strong local voice in Hon. Oluwafemi Abolade Gabriel (Yerima)—the Leader of Ona Ara Local Government councillors and a rising political figure whose vision is steadily gaining attention across the constituency.
In a thoughtfully delivered Earth Day message, Yerima called on residents of Ona Ara to see environmental responsibility not as a distant global issue, but as a daily duty that begins right at home:

His approach is clear: practical solutions, people-focused policies, and sustained awareness that empowers residents to take ownership of their environment.
> “We must begin to see our streets, markets, and public spaces as shared assets that deserve protection. A cleaner Ona Ara is not just a dream—it is a responsibility we must all embrace.”
