The Anambra State Government has discovered incessant disposal of waste into gutters and drainages instead of the designated locations across the state.
This is in spite of the fact that Governor Chukwuma Soludo has shown good example by repeatedly going out to desilt gutters and drainages in Ochanja market and its surroundings.
The Ministry of Environment had asked Markets, Estates, Parks, Layouts, Neighborhoods, Streets, Schools, Churches, Abattoirs, Shopping Complexes and Plazas and all public spaces to carry out sanitation exercises from twenty-third February to Friday fifteenth March, 2024.
In a release signed by the Anambra state Commissioner for Information, Sir Paul Nwosu, noted that government is sad to see that in spite of all the notification and media announcements, those concerned have not heeded the warnings to desilt gutters and drainages in their environment and that henceforth, Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra, OCHA Brigade will be on active patrol to ensure compliance with the directives.
Anybody or group caught flouting the directive shall be penalised according to the law as the government is determined to maintain and sustain a clean and healthy environment.
