The statement read partly: “The special waste disposal operation which has the blessing of the state Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, will see massive deployment of waste disposal equipment to all the nooks and crannies of the state.

“The waste collectors, sweepers and managers will be on duty throughout the period, thereby forfeiting the holidays for the success of the special operation.

“We therefore urge residents and visitors to the state during this festive season and the period of the special waste disposal operation to cooperate with OGWAMA officials by dumping their refuse in waste bins and receptacles scattered throughout the state for effective service delivery.”
