The shift in environmental management and modernization for purely economic gain is

how to get people to understand and accept the new rules of economic growth, which include
expanding educational facilities, improving environmental quality, and paying attention to
alternative costs on natural resources (fauna and flora) that would be affected (Mabogunje,
1980). The need to tap natural resources (quarrying) at the BJ quarry site in Ogbere will result in
economic growth and technological progress, but at the expense of the environment (social cost),
improving the quality of materials and human resources (social responsibility) in Lameed and
Ayodele 747 in terms of employment opportunities, road construction, and other raw material
that are derivable from quarry. The cause for the various environmental difficulties related with
resource extraction, like as quarrying in Quarry, might be a lack of environmental concerns in
the design and construction of the large project (Oyaigheviven, 1998). Thus, projects are
typically sited and undertaken to meet the company's social and economic goals while
disregarding the wants and aspirations of the people who are directly affected in nearby villages
such as Aba-Kale and Ogbere, as well as the influence on the main environment. A large amount
of land is generally present in open cast mining and quarrying environments, leaving behind
stagnant ponds or open pits. As a result, the majority of surface mining environments display the
marks of environmental deterioration. Materials used in mining, such as sand, clay, gravel, and
red earth, ruin viable agricultural land and have an impact on other biodiversity (flora and fauna)
resources that are indigenous and unique to the area (social cost). Depending on the relative
toxicity of the material, leakage from the disturbed mineral mining or quarry site into ground
water might constitute a major health risk to both humans and other animals (domesticated or
wild) in the vicinity of the quarry.
