Osun State Sues 18 Banks Over Environmental Charges

Eighteen commercial banks have been sued by Osun State before the law court over refusal to pay their environmental developmental charges.





Waste Management Board General Manager Alhaji Ganiyu Oyeladun, who made this known at a news conference in Osogbo, the state capital, warned residents against dumping refuse on the main roads.

He warned that the government would arrest whosoever caught violating the order and would be prosecuted accordingly.

Oyeladun, who said it was an offence for residents to dump refuse on the main road, explained that the government took the decision to let the roads be free of garbage and refuse.

He warned people living by river banks against dumping refuse in the river to avoid heavy flooding that could lead to disaster.
He added that the agency had made available 61 refuse trucks and divided the state into cluster areas for effective dumping of refuse.

The general manager added that local government areas have their dumping sites, urging people to do their best to make the state and their environment regularly clean.
