Kano State Government has employed additional street swepers to ensure a cleaner and healthier environment in the state.
The state Commissioner for Environment, Dr Kabiru Getso, stated this on Saturday, after leading the state Task Force Commitee on sanitation, to monitor the monthly environmental sanitation.
He said the newly-employed sweepers were posted to State road, BUK road, Kabuga- Danagundi road, Gandun Albasa road, Zoo road, Court road, Aminu Kano way and Maiduguri road, among others.
The Commissioner however, said the commitee was happy with the level of cleanliness of the roads.
“I am glad to tell you that over 80 per cent of the roads were very clean and I must commend the new street sweepers for a job well done.”
The Commissioner, who is also the Chairman of the Committee on Sanitation, warned the residents against dumping wastes on the streets.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the mobile courts attached to the committee had also fined about 60 defaulters N119,500.
