The growing problem of indiscriminately depositing trash on highways has prompted a strong warning from the Federal traffic Safety Corps (FRSC), highlighting the possible risks to both public health and traffic safety. Anthony Uga, the FRSC sector commander in Ogun, emphasised to reporters in Sango-Ota how urgent it is to solve this expanding issue that puts drivers’ safety in danger.

Mr. Uga emphasised the twofold danger that roadside dumping presents: the immediate health risks as well as the increased possibility of accidents and fatalities. Refuse piling on roads not only endangers the public’s health but also puts pedestrians and automobiles in danger.

Expressing concern over the increasing prevalence of this practice, the sector commander emphasized the need for collaborative efforts to curb it. To this end, the FRSC intends to join forces with the Ogun State Environment Protection Agency (OSEPA) to closely monitor areas prone to illegal dumping and take legal action against offenders.

The partnership seeks to more successfully enforce laws and deal with the underlying causes of the problem. Mr. Uga gave the public the assurance that talks with OSEPA will start in order to stop this unnecessary practice. Together, the FRSC and OSEPA hope to improve road conditions and public health by fostering a cleaner, safer driving environment.

To sum up, the FRSC’s alert is a call to action against the dangerous practice of disposing of trash on public highways. The cooperative approach with OSEPA is indicative of a dedication to upholding laws and guaranteeing the safety of both public and road users. It is projected that more awareness and enforcement will lead to a major improvement as the authorities move to address this urgent issue.
