He said, keeping the environment clean is a cooperate responsibility between the government and the governed, and he therefore called on the general public to develop a positive attitude towards refuge disposal.

“As a government, we have a responsibility to tackle this menace of refuge escalation be it cultural or spiritual by whatsoever means necessary to ensure that the right thing is done”
