The Sole Administrator said the fact that people participated actively in the exercise despite the downpour, showed that Rivers people appreciate healthy environment and urged them to sustain the tempo in future sanitation exercises.

“The early comers also did a great job in that we saw a lot of cans and plastic bottles floating from the drains and this is a good time to do this cleaning so that our drains would be free of blockages”, he said.

The Sole Administrator who also commended residents of Rumuokoro in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area for defying the rain to turn out in their numbers for the exercise, however condemned the attitude of traders who disobeyed the restriction of human and vehicular movements order and were seen trading along the major road and the Rumuokoro Roundabout.

The RIWAMA boss similarly appealed to residents of Orazi Community in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area to desist from the habit of dumping plastics and other waste materials into the drains whenever it rains.

Bro. Obuah also lauded the efforts of the 23 local government chairmen and the councilors in mobilizing their people to participate in the exercise, noting that the local government administrators have proven their worth as true leaders.

The RIWAMA boss added that the Agency would, with effect from next sanitation exercise, send a team to each LGA as a way of complementing their efforts in cleaning their areas.

He revealed that the Agency has also concluded plans to visit each LGA to ascertain the level of environmental cleanliness of their areas, adding that the visit would begin next week with Obio/Akpor and Eleme Local Government Areas.

Bro. Obuah also commended security agents for ensuring the enforcement of the ‘no human and vehicular movements’ order between the hours of 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., even as he extolled the roles played by traditional rulers, chiefs, youths, women and opinion leaders in ensuring that the exercise was successful at the rural areas.

The Sole Administrator advised Rivers people to join hands with Governor Nyesom Wike to ensure that all the nooks and crannies of the State are kept clean and healthy at all times.
