Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to examine the impact of Dangote cement industry located at Ibese Ogun state in the immediate neighborhood. The study adopts structured questionnaires and personal interview that focus on the socio-economic activities, pollution, and health of the people. Pollution has led to unproductive agricultural land, contamination of underground water resulted to scarcity within the settlement, frequent sickness from diarrhea/ typhoid, eye problem and regular crashes of trucks which claim life and destruction of the existing roads and noise pollution from the horn of the trucks within the settlement cause distraction fear in day and night. The study recommends there should be an alternative road from the factory to Lagos- Abeokuta express way and Dangote cement should carry out its corporate social responsibility e.g. supply of clean potable water, grading of township road to reduce erosion, construction of school, hospital and provide necessary measures for pollution control within the factory.
