The Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Abiodun Oni, said the new initiative was conceived to actualise the vision of keeping the state clean, while also harnessing opportunities inherent in proper waste management system. “We are tired of using the same approach without getting results,” he stated.
According to him, the State Governor, Engr Seyi Makinde, has approved the appointment of a new Waste Management Consultant, Mottainai Recycling Africa, to see to the day-to-day running of the disposal mechanism in the state. He assured residents that the government is taking holistic measures to ensure that the state experiences a turn-around in the environmental sector.
Oni implored traders to improve sanitation within their environment, calling on the traders to remain law abiding and be peaceful when carrying out their legitimate businesses. He stated that the present administration was committed at maintaining and sustaining the state ecosystem towards ensuring a clean and green environment that would be attractive to investors.
Abia state should also enforce law against indiscriminate of waste.
In fact this should be enforced all over the states in Nigeria. Some people need to collect!
Enforcement? Has a system of waste collection for disposal been created already? Has information on how to dispose waste been circulated to the public. Has a reasonable deadline prior to enforcement been communicated? Enforcement? 🤭
Law against or do the needful and create a culture of cleaniness by providing means and timely evacuation of waste.
This is so so necessary across Nigeria!!!!
