The Oyo State Government has established the Oyo State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority to ensure that citizens and residents of the state are guided to be law-abiding.
The Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, who disclosed this in a statement, noted that the establishment of the Authority was approved at the 8th Executive Council meeting.
He said that the agency would ensure that those who flout environmental and social laws are apprehended and brought to book within a short period.
Oyelade declared that the state government would henceforth be firm and decisive on those who engage in indiscriminate dumping of refuse on road medians, roadsides or waterways, obstruction of free flow of traffic, driving against traffic, disregard for traffic signs, indiscriminate occupation of public roads with trading activities, noise pollution, among other related offences, as specified by the law.
He stated that Governor Seyi Makinde had mandated the Ministry of Information and Civic Orientation to erect billboards across the state, forewarning citizens and residents about the zero-tolerance posture of the government.
The commissioner urged members of the public to show maximum cooperation towards actualising the purpose of establishing the Rule of Law Authority.
