The Delta State Waste Management Board has continued to keep faith with its avowed commitment to ensuring that indiscriminately dumped waste and litters are not found anywhere in the State Capital Territory and other urban towns of the state.
Officials of the Board are always out in the field to evacuate waste and pick up litters at strategic locations within Asaba and the environs, the latest being Marble Hill junction, the Road Safety stand axis and somewhere after the old dumpsite, on the Asagba – Benin expressway.
They were led by a Field Operations Supervisor, Mrs Evelyn Orisewezie, who said the exercise was on the directive of the Board Chairman, Hon Matthew Mofe Edema.
Mrs Orisewezie added that Hon Edema had remained passionate about the cleanliness of the state capital and other parts of the state as a way of contributing to the actualization of the environmental rejuvenation outcome of the MORE agenda of the Oborevwori administration.
She said the Board members and staff were on the same page with the Chairman in that regard, stressing that the success of the Board was a collective responsibility.
When contacted, the Board Chairman, Hon Matthew Mofe Edema, said even as the routine evaluation of waste remained unwavering, it was important residents imbibed the culture of cleanliness, as indiscriminate dumping of refuse was a bad habit and unlawful.
Hon Edema appealed to those who had yet to register with the Waste Managers, also known as Private Sector Participants (PSPs) to do so or face the wrath of the law when caught.
