The Lagos State Government has accused motor park operators of flouting sanitation laws, saying it had mobilised security operatives to arrest and prosecute offenders.
Commissioner for the Environment,Muiz Banire, said the operators always went about their businesses during the state’s monthly sanitation.
The state holds environmental sanitation from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. on the last Saturday of every month.
Banire warned commuters to desist from leaving their homes early in the morning or sleeping in parks to evade participation in the sanitation.
He said government had formally notified the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria and independent motor park operators on the government’s decision.
He said this is in spite of enlightenment campaigns at motor parks on why the operators should take part in the cleaning exercise, they have refused to change.
