A total ban on Wheelbarrow and truck pushers in the state was announced by the state government in Lagos.
Secretary of State Government (SSG), Mr. Tunji Bello, this was said in a statement.
According to the SSG, its activities are not only detrimental to the purity of the environment, but are also a risk to the success of the recently launched Cleaner Lakes Initiative (CLI).
Bello also accused the Wheelbarrow and truck pushers in the state of being responsible for the majority of illegal waste disposal on canals and middle roads. It is known that this behavior causes floods.
In addition, SSG considers that Wheelbarrow and truck pushers in the state pose a threat to Lagosian security.
He says, "What the government has discovered is that these people use the night to do all sorts of disgraceful acts.
"They dump indiscriminately in the middle of the main road and the highway, and they also pose serious security threats because they use these Wheelbarrow and truck to hide weapons and ammunition and hide under the guise of carrying weapons. Waste scraps innocent people, "says SSG.
He also stated that the state government has developed plans to ensure that CLI covers all areas of the country and ensures that waste is well packaged and collected, encouraging residents to stop serving or being subjected to lawsuits.
He says: “The State Government has declared zero tolerance for the activities of cart pushers and wheelbarrow operators. Security agencies in the State have been directed to ensure that those found still operating are arrested and prosecuted according to the State Environmental Laws.”
“The law also applies to residents who patronise cart pushers. It is an offence and the State Government would not hesitate to enforce the law to put a stop to such practice.”
That gonna be good if it is for the security and protection of Lagos state
