“Once a week we will be sensitising one community within the metropolis to imbibe in them the need to dump refuse properly.
“We at the authority will ensure that refuse are being evacuated daily but the mindset of the people needs to be set on the values of a healthy environment,” Lawal said.
Lawal emphasized the agency’s desire for a healthier environment through enforcement of strict compliance to the existing environmental laws.
He further stated that offenders found guilty of indiscriminately dumping refuse in the state will be tried before any of its mobile courts.
