The state Environmental Sanitation Task Force has found several sanitation offenders in Kwara State guilty of breaking the law and fined them in an effort to consistently enforce the state’s sanitation laws.<\/p>\n

In response to questions from the media following the environmental sanitation exercise that was conducted throughout the state over the weekend, State Commissioner for Environment Nafisat Buge revealed this, as stated in a statement released on Sunday by Kamaldeen Aliagan, Press Secretary of the State Ministry of Environment.<\/p>\n

The task force’s commissioner, who stressed that state citizens should strictly abide by environmental laws, confirmed that “the exercise was successful because there has been an improvement in the level of compliance.”<\/p>\n

Buge further disclosed that \u201cthe offenders were apprehended and charged in 17 mobile courts strategically positioned across the metropolis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe positive aspect is that none of the offenders can feign ignorance of today\u2019s sanitation exercise, as sufficient sensitisation was carried out by the ministry through radio, newspapers, and online platforms. It is clear that they willfully flouted the laws and are thus made to face the full wrath of the law, serving as a deterrent to others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buge praised the community service that members of the Guild of Yoruba Media Practitioners had performed at the Gaa Akanbi area in the state capital of Ilorin. He assigned them the responsibility of increasing awareness about the need for a better and healthier living environment.<\/p>\n

As a result, she made a plea to the populace to keep helping the state government and its agencies in their endeavors to maintain a safe, clean, and healthy state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
