The Lagos State Government yesterday announced a total ban on

NIn a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government
(SSG), Tunji Bello, the State Government said that with the flag
off of the Cleaner Lagos Initiative (CLI), the continuous activities
of cart pushers will pose a threat to the success of the initiative.
Bello said that investigations had also revealed that the cart
pushers are responsible for most of the illegal dumping of waste
in canals and road medians at night which causes flooding, adding
that aside constituting environmental nuisance, they were also
traces of security threats.
“What the State Government has discovered is that these set of
people use the night to perpetrate all sorts of dastardly acts.
They dump refuse indiscriminately on the median of major roads
and highways.
They also pose serious security threats because
they use those carts to hide arms and ammunition and hide under
the guise of carrying refuse to rob unsuspecting residents,” the
SSG said.
He said that the state government has finalised plans to ensure
that the CLI would cover every area of the state and ensure that
refuse are well packed and collected, urging residents to desist
from patronising them or risk prosecution.
“The State Government has declared zero tolerance for the
activities of cart pushers and wheel barrow 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,” Bello said.
