www.odogwublog.com reports that the
General Manager, Anambra State Waste Management Authority, ASWAMA, Mr.
Amaechi Akorah, has urged residents of Anambra State to desist from
dumping refuse indiscriminately on roads and drainage channels.
Akorah
who gave the charge while speaking with newsmen in Awka, said they
would soon establish sanitation marshals to check the menace.
According
to him, the marshals will work with the agency's Sanitation Compliance
and Monitoring teams in the areas to ensure that cleanliness will be
maintained.
He said
that they had planned for ASWAMA’s ‘Clean-Closer’ initiative and
disclosed that they would deploy light truck fitted with megaphones to
sensitize Ndi Anambra on dangers of dumping refuse on roads.
The
ASWAMA boss said the agency would work in partnership with Eke Awka
traders to stop dumping of refuse in the wrong places and ensure that
cleanliness would be maintained in the area.
Mr.
Akorah also said that dumping refuse on the road would not only make
the environment dirty but would also block the drainage channels which
the government constructed to stem flood disasters.
He
enjoined Ndi Anambra to bag their refuse and dispose in ASWAMA waste
bins for onward evacuation by the agency's officials in order to
maintain clean and healthy environment.
