Bamigboye said everything would be done to rid Lagos of refuse under the sanitation Intervention Programme (SIP).
The PS said: “To prevent outbreak of epidemics, residents must always ensure that they handle waste in the most appropriate way.”
He said the law against street trading was still on, warning against the display of rams on major highways, road medians, lay-bys, gardens and parks.
Bamigboye said the sales of rams must be done without defacing the state or compromising the well-being of Lagosians.
