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.

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”.
