Are you in Ekiti State? Do you smoke?
Well, the Ekiti State government has on Wednesday, May 6, 2015
inaugurated the Smoke-Free Law Enforcement Committee whose duty is to ensure
the enforcement of the prohibition of smoking in public places law passed by
the state assembly in 2012.
Anyone caught smoking in public in the state now risks going to
prison for three months. The Committee is led by the Permanent Secretary,
Ministry of Environment, Dr. Bolanle Fakunle.
Security agencies like the Police, Civil Defence Corps and
Environmental Health Officers have been empowered by law to arrest culprits and
ensure that they are brought to justice.
