Obuah Urges CTC Chairmen To Key Into The Cleanest LGA Crusade


The Sole Administrator of the Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA) has called on the Caretaker Committee Chairmen in all 23 Local Government Areas of the State to take advantage of the monthly Cleanest and Safest Local Government Area award initiated by the agency to reward environmental cleanliness of the councils.
The RIWAMA boss, who made the call during the launching /Inauguration of Operation Keep Oyigbo Clean (OKOC) held at the Oyigbo Ultra-Modern Market on Tuesday, said the award was intended to promote a keen and healthy competition among the councils.
Represented at the occasion by the Special Adviser, Intervention to the Sole Administrator, Mr. Joseph Obele Dibiah, he charged the CTC Chairmen to strive to improve on the performance of Ikwerre Local Government Area which won the maiden edition two months ago.
The RIWAMA Sole Administrator who is also Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State charged the Chairmen to key into the vision of Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike to keep the State clean and return Port Harcourt into its Garden City status.
Reaffirming that a clean Rivers State is a task that must be done, the RIWAMA boss reiterated that the benefits cannot not be quantified as it would go a long way to engender good health for all and sundry.
Bro. Obuah commended the Oyigbo Local Government CTC Chairman, Hon. Ibeawuchi Alex for his effort in improving the environmental standard of the area and urged him to keep up the tempo, adding that Oyigbo under the current administration had witnessed improvement compared to the condition left behind by the APC regime.
He emphasized that as the gateway to the oil rich State, Oyigbo serves as a mirror in which the rest of the State can be gleaned, calling on the Chairman and his team not to relent in their effort to maintain a clean and healthy Oyigbo.
In his address of welcome, Hon. Alex said the occasion was used to launch the 'Refuse Bags' and also inaugurate an Environmental Sanitation Team'.  He said the objective of his administration was to instill a culture of bagging of refuse and disposing them through the appropriate channel.
The Oyigbo CTC Chairman said the Environmental Sanitation Team was saddled with the responsibility of giving Oyigbo a face-lift, stating unequivocally that his focus was in line with the policy thrust of Governor Wike.
He went on to reel out some of the modest achievements recorded by the Committee within the short space of time adding, “These scenario as outlined are indeed a manifestation of our pledge to diligently serve the purpose of our call to duty and to put smiles on the faces of the citizen which posterity will reckon”.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.  As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...

Rivers Governmnet, PDP Disagree Over $280 million Looan

The Rivers State Government and the Peoples Democratic Party in the state are currently at loggerheads over the request by the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, for a $280m loan for water and sanitation projects. While the state PDP said that the latest request for loan by the state government was unnecessary due to the resources accruing to the state through the federal allocation and internally generated revenue, the government said it was not true that the funds were to be used for 2015 elections. The state House of Assembly had on Monday endorsed Amaechi’s request for loan for water supply and sanitation projects. But the state PDP, in a statement, signed by the Special Adviser to its Chairman, Mr. Jerry Needam, said the request for loan was aimed at punishing the governor’s successor in 2015. The party called on members of the House of Assembly, the Federal Ministry of Finance, the African Development Bank and the World Bank not to honour the loan re...

2019: Northern youths kick as Northwest APC lawmakers endorse Buhari

The leadership of the Arewa Youth Forum on Monday said President Muhammadu Buhari does not deserve any endorsement for the 2019 presidency. Reacting to a purported endorsement by some serving All Progressives Congress’s lawmakers from the Northwest in Kaduna, the AYF’s National President, Alhaji Gambo Gujungu, said Buhari was not fit to return as president in 2019. The AYF argued that with the killing spree all over the country, especially in the North, Buhari should serve his mandatory four years term and quit the stage for another Northerner. Gujungu noted that one sour point about President Buhari’s 2019 ambition was his claim that the killings across the country were being carried out by “desperate politicians”, yet he had not arrested even a single suspect. The AYF president, therefore, said Nigerians should blame the president for the attacks on innocent citizens. The AYF boss who spoke to our correspondent on phone on Monday, said the President’s cl...
