Environmental Sanitation records poor compliance in Port Harcourt.

Some residents of Rivers State have appealed to the Rivers State Waste Management Agency RIWAMA to facilitate prompt evacuation of wastes to avoid it returning back to the drains.

A resident of Rumuokoro, Mr. Reality Uzoma who spoke with Correspondent Blessing Ituma said although there was poor compliance to today’s sanitation exercise due to the no restriction order that the wastes evacuated since last Thursday sanitation by people doing business at the Romuokoro Roundabout has not been evacuated.

Also along the NTA/Wali-Ogbonda Road linking the East/West Road, it was observed that grasses were beginning to grow on debris evacuated from drains in the area.

One of the residents, Mr. Edwin Nwaneri lamented that the debris has been there since the September sanitation as no truck has come for the evacuation.

The residents said sometimes they contribute to remove the debris from along the road calling for enforcement on the relevant evacuation contractors.

Meanwhile our correspondent who monitored the sanitation exercise reports that only few persons were seen cleaning their surroundings as there was no restriction of movement.
