“Over one thousand personnel will be deployed for the exercise, there are further plans to get more hands to compliment the staff of the agency if there will be a need for it.

“We are also working closely with the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) to identify areas that our services will be needed.

“For those dumping refuse on road demarcation, a task force has been put in place to check the activities of those involved in the act, anyone caught will be prosecuted”, he said.

Imariagbe appealed to Edo people to desist from indiscriminate dumping of refuse adding that the act was detrimental to their health.
