In a released report by LAWMA, it stated that the agency has considered allowing Lagos cleaner and has made efforts to introduce Novel Waste Management programme in the state, and support PSP operators to work primarily and make their duties plausible.
Odumboni however, noted that the hazardous activities of the cart pushers have led to destructive abuse to human health and environmental Heath as a whole even while the world collectively is battling with the wrath of COVID-19.
He added that any form of cart pushing seen around the state will face the judgment and wrath of the government and urged residents to inculcate the habit of bagging waste and handling it to PSP operators rather than just dumping refuses any where or patronizing cart-pushers.
