Rivers to prosecute Sanitation Day violators

Rivers - Members of the public who do not
comply with the restriction of movement for the
Rivers State Sanitation Exercise will be
prosecuted.
Jerry Needam, Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity to Felix Obuah, The Administrator of
the Rivers State Waste Management Agency,
said the event will hold on Saturday.
As usual human and vehicular movements will be
restricted from 7am to 10am during the
sanitation hours.
“The Sole Administrator warns that anyone
caught violating the restriction of movement
order shall be arrested and charged before the
Sanitation Court,” said Needam.
He said Obuah appealed to all residents to fully
participate by cleaning their environment,
clearing their drains, bagging their wastes and
dropping them at approved receptacles only.

He appeals to companies, corporate
organizations and individuals to donate their pay
loaders, trucks and other equipments for easy
evacuation of wastes on the Sanitation Day.
Meanwhile, Needam said the attention of the
agency had been drawn to fake Exemption
Permit in circulation.
“Anyone caught with Exemption Permit not duly
issued by the Sole Administrator of Rivers State
Waste Management Agency would be arrested
and prosecuted,” he warned.
