The Lagos State Government has ordered beggars to leave the metropolis in their own interest.

Commissioner of Youth and Social Development, Mrs Uzamat Akinbile-Yussuf, said the government would take drastic action against those who did not leave on their own.

The commissioner said there was an ongoing campaign against the menace of street begging on radio stations to sensitise people on the need to stop it.

Mrs Akinbile-Yussuf urged residents to stop giving alms to beggars in order to discourage them, saying: “We have been campaigning against street begging on radio since January.
