An environment enthusiast, Engineer Chuks-Michael Mofunanya, has appealed to the residents of Awka and environment to desist from indiscriminate dumping of waste to avoid unnecessary flooding.

 

Engineer Mofunanya, an indigene of Umudioka Awka, who made the appeal while speaking to the ABS in Awka, said that indiscriminate dumping of refuse has caused unnecessary flooding and destruction of property.

 

He urged Anambra State Ministry of Environment as well as the management of Anambra State Waste Management Authority (ASWAMA) to set up taskforce team that will apprehend environmental offenders.

 

He equally called on Ndi Anambra to imbibe the habit of disposing their waste appropriately to avoid outbreak of diseases and avoidable flooding that could cause erosion.
