Oyo State enforcement team
The Oyo State Government has commenced enforcement of its house-to-house waste collection policy, warning residents and business owners that premises without proper waste disposal arrangements risk closure.
The enforcement exercise began on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, with environmental officers of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources inspecting residential buildings, business premises and other facilities across the state.
The Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Hon. Ademola Aderinto, disclosed this during the flag-off of the exercise on Wednesday, saying the enforcement was necessary to ensure compliance with the state’s waste management regulations.
Aderinto said the government was concerned about the environmental, aesthetic, economic and public health consequences of improper waste disposal.
