The Delta State Ministry of Environment has made plans to impound trucks carrying sand and granite if they are not properly covered during transportation.
Mr Jamani Tommy Ejiro who announced this to newsmen in Asaba on Wednesday said the decision aims to reduce the environmental impact and safety hazards associated with uncovered haulage.
The environment Commissioner added that the ministry’s compliance monitoring team and Law enforcement agencies will be tasked with intercepting and impounding uncovered trucks or haulage operators who fail to comply with this new directive.
The administration of Governor Oborevwori seeks to minimize the spillage of sand and granite onto roads, reducing damage to infrastructures and the environment.
Deltans are enjoined to join in sensitizing the people especially trucks drivers to cover their loads to prevent accidents caused by falling debris.
