Oresanya warned drivers of articulated vehicles and their cohorts to stop defecating on medians and roadsides while on stopovers.
He urged them to visit public toilets provided by the state government for their convenience instead of engaging in such unwholesome practice.
Oresanya disclosed the state had mandated all petrol stations and eateries in the state to make their conveniences available for public use as part of their corporate social responsibility.
