No fewer than 200 persons were arrested and charged before mobile courts across Kwara state during Saturday’s environmental sanitation exercise for violating Kwara State environmental law.
The spokesman of the state Ministry of Environment, Kamaldeen Aliagan in a statement in Ilorin on Sunday, said the Commissioner for Environment, Nafisat Musa Buge,
She warned residents and commercial transporters against violating the environmental law of the state during the monthly sanitation exercise.
The commissioner urged residents to continually abide by the environmental laws of the state to enhance a clean and healthy environment, habitable to all, and attract investors for the overall development of the state.
Represented by her Permanent Secretary, Abubakar Ayinla, the commissioner was excited at the level of compliance among the residents of the state, adding, “With what we observed today in the metropolis and the reports received from local government areas of the state, the level of compliance has drastically improved.”
“More efforts, therefore, need to be put in place to ensure sustainability to promote a hygienic environment to prevent epidemics in society,” she added.
The commissioner appealed to Kwarans to adhere strictly to the sanitation laws of the state for the benefit of all and also charged members of the public not to relent in their efforts to make Kwara a pacesetter and a clean and hygienic environment state.
Nafisat commended security agencies and various voluntary organizations for their support in ensuring a smooth sanitation exercise.
