The Commissioner for Environment, Dr Babatunde Adejare, gave the clarification in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
He explained that the allegation by waste operators in the state that the state government owed them huge sum of money was not true.
According to him, there is a process to get money from the government and so far, no request to such claims is before his office.
