Henceforth, any waste cart pusher operating in te state will have his cart seized and crushed b the state government.
The ban is with immediate effect.
The government said recent security reports had indicted the waste cart pushers of complicity in crimes across the state.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Environment and Chief Executive Officer of the Ogun State Waste Management Authority, Ola Oresanya, disclosed this in a statement in Abeokuta, the state capital.
Oresanya said the activities of the cart pushers constitute a security risk to the residents of the state.
Any waste cart pusher caught operating henceforth in the state will be arrested and his cart crushed.
He said, “While they are operating, our people innocently open their premises and commercial outlets to them for the evacuation of their wastes, but unknowingly to them, these cart pushers who are mostly foreigners collate vital information on how to compromise the security of their premises and pass them to the men of the underworld and sometimes join them to rob and terrorize our people.”
