Anambra State Government has vowed to shutdown parks and markets flouting the monthly sanitation order.
The Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Felix Odimegwu, who stated this during the April edition of the monthly sanitation exercise, said that this will take effect from May, 2022.
Mr. Odimegwu assured government readiness to inject enforcement into the exercise as a way of achieving a cleaner Anambra State.
According to the Commissioner, the state environment is under threat as a result of unfriendly attitude of some residents, and assured that vigorous transformation is expected to restore a cleaner Anambra Environment, including community participation approach, six hours refuse collection, stronger partnership of refuse collectors for sustainability and waste to wealth approach, among other steps.
While asking the people to shun indiscriminate dumping of refuse, Mr. Odimegwu explained that to fight the over nine hundred erosion sites in the state, residents and real estate developers must imbibe the attitude of tree planting and shun deforestation, as the state government is committed to ensuring that every building has more than one tree in it.
Some people, who were apprehended during the exercise by the Commissioner and his team, were made to take part in the exercise, assuring to participate fully going forward.
