State accuses private waste collector of criminal intent
The Niger State
government has denied entering into contractual agreement with any
private waste disposal company for the cleaning of streets in Minna.
Hadiza Mohammad,
permanent secretary of the state’s ministry of environment, in a
statement made available to the press in Minna on Sunday, said that the
claim by a private waste collector, Messrs Remi O Nigeria Limited, that
it had entered into a contract to clean some streets in the state
capital, was frivolous, spurious, and unfounded.
She accused the owner of the company of trying to defraud Niger State, adding that government would not condone his act.
“It is obvious he has criminal intent to defraud the government of
its resources from the inconsistent amounts he claims and is only
making noise to attract public sympathy,” she said.
