He asked that participants should patronise assigned PSP operators and pay their waste bills promptly as there was nowhere in the world that waste services are free. Odunbomi also warned that further environmental infractions by community residents would attract the full weight of the law.
The Chief Technical Officer, LAWMA, Dr Olohunwa Tijani, stated that some shops had already been sealed in the neighbourhood for reckless waste disposal and other environmental infractions as a deterrent to would-be defaulters.
