The Task Force is to be chaired by the state Head Of Service, Mr Ayanleye Aina and deputised by the state Commissioner for Environment and Sanitation, Mr. Mayowa Adejoorin.
The core mandate of the taskforce according to a statement by the state commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, is to tackle environmental infractions in the state particularly the indiscriminate waste disposals in drains and roadsides as well as other places that have the potential of constituting environmental nuisances.
The state government particularly flayed the indiscriminate manner with which people litter road medians with dirts and debris of different kinds, an act which it further noted could cause serious environmental hazards.
The State Government while putting in place the taskforce urged its members to ensure that all enforcement activities are diligently carried out in accordance with the law.
Government warned that offenders will henceforth be prosecuted.
