RIWAMA Sole Administrator, Bro Felix Obuah Restates Ban On Dumping Of Refuse On The Median And Unauthorized Places

The Sole Administrator of Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA), Bro. Felix Obuah has again reminded residents and those doing business in Port Harcourt, the State capital and its environs, that the ban on dumping of refuse on the median and unauthorized places is still in force, warning that the Agency would arrest and prosecute offenders.

Bro. Obuah who stated this shortly after an unscheduled monitoring of some major streets and roads in Port Harcourt metropolis on Wednesday, regretted that despite several warnings and advertisements by the Agency against indiscriminate dumping of refuse on the median, residents and those living and doing business in parts of the State capital have failed to heed the call.

He regretted that residents still cultivate the habit of indiscriminate dumping of refuse on the median and unauthorized places, making the task of cleaning of the city by the Agency, difficult.

In the course of the unscheduled monitoring exercise, the RIWAMA Sole Administrator, Bro Obuah at the popular UST Roundabout caught a man dumping refuse on the median. But the culprit was lucky as Bro. Obuah showed leniency and cautioned him to remove the waste dropped on the median. He stood and watched the man clear the refuse he dumped on the median.

“The time of grace would soon be over and those who dump on the median and unauthorized places and outside the stipulated time of 7pm to 12 midnight would be arrested and prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to those who have refused to heed the several announcements, publications, enlightenments and warnings by the Agency”, Bro. Obuah stated.

He appealed to residents and those living and doing business in Port Harcourt and its environs to help the Agency in its sanitation efforts, adding that littering and dumping of refuse on the median and major roads was an act of sabotage against the administration of Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wikewho has given all necessary support to the agency, to keep the State clean at all times.

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.
