The commissioner reaffirmed the state government's ban on the production of charcoal in the state, adding that the law is still in effect.
He warned, the law banning the production of charcoal in Kwara State is still intact. Whoever is caught violating the law will be sanctioned accordingly.
Ndanusa also revealed that the task force on charcoal will continue to move around the state to ascertain the level of compliance and impound vehicles transporting charcoal out of the state.
He implored the task force and law enforcement agents not to arrest small cars such as buses and taxis transporting within the state for domestic use and also not to indulge violators in whatever guise, but rather confiscate their goods and lorries and report such culprits to the ministry appropriately, for necessary actions.
