Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Dr. Kingsley Emu, disclosed this in Asaba, while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
Dr. Emu, who said the ban, which was necessitated by the preponderance of crime being committed with Okada and the frequently reported cases of vandalism of public facilities by the scavengers, would take effect today (Friday), though strict enforcement would commence June 1, 2024.
The SSG clarified that the ban implied that no ‘iron condemn’ cart pusher would operate in any part of the State Capital Territory after May
