Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers
State, has revealed the area where his administration has “not done well”.
The governor disclosed that his
administration has not done well in the area of waste management in the state.
Addressing newsmen in Port
Harcourt, the state capital, on Tuesday, Wike revealed that his administration
has spent N500 million on waste management without satisfactory result.
He lamented that the funds and
efforts so far expended on waste management was yet to yield the desired
impact.
According to the governor, “The
issue of waste is worrisome even in Nigeria. This is an area I think I have not
done well; it is very critical and challenging.
“So far, my administration has
ordered more than 20,000 waste bins to enhance proper waste collection and disposal
within the metropolis and its environs.
“I am reiterating my
administration’s readiness to rid the state capital and its environs of waste.
“We need all residents
cooperation to restore Port Harcourt to its Garden City status.
“We will clamp down on street
trading to boost sanitation in the Port Harcourt metropolis and environs.
“Street traders from neighboring
states who do not contribute revenue to the state come to do business in the
morning and litter the city with refuse.
“It is inherent in us to drop
waste everywhere and litter the environment.”
