 Obuah Happy Over Clearing Of Waste From The Median Of Major Roads

The Sole Administrator of the Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA), Bro. Felix Obuah has expressed delight with the level of compliance with the directive on clearing of waste from the median of major roads in Port Harcourt.

Bro. Obuah commended residents of Port Harcourt and environs for their cleanliness and ensuring that internal roads, particularly the median which was once dotted by refuse are cleared.

The Sole Administrator in a statement said he was happy as residents had complied with the recent order by the Agency and the threat to arrest and prosecute those found dumping refuse at the median.

Bro. Obuah wondered why roads which have been designed to improve the aesthetic beauty of the city would become dumpsites for residents who refused to make use of approved receptacles.

The Sole Administrator said the Agency would continue to do its best to restore the Garden City status of Rivers State and called on residents to cooperate with RIWAMA to achieve its target of making the State the cleanest in the country.

He also called on residents to maintain a safe cleaning habit as a way of reciprocating the efforts of Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, who he described as ‘environmentally friendly Governor’.

Bro. Obuah also gave kudos to the Special Task Force set up by the Agency to monitor, arrest and prosecute those who dump refuse indiscriminately, including the media, for a job well done, adding that the job of cleaning the State remained a collective responsibility of everyone.

The Sole Administrator reminded  residents and those doing business in the State that the Special Task Force set up to monitor indiscriminate dumping of refuse was still in force and warned those still dumping waste at the median to desist from the act or have themselves to blame.
