Engage Services Of Planters Now, RIWAMA Sole Administrator, Bro Obuah Charges Service Providers
The Sole Administrator, Rivers State Waste Management Agency, RIWAMA, Bro Felix Obuah has charged all Service Providers engaged by the Agency to also engage planters among their staff.
Bro Obuah said the services of planters have become necessary to ensure that the roads and streets do not continue to be littered with wastes after the Service Providers are done with evacuation of refuse from receptacles.
According to the Sole Administrator, the Agency has noted with disdain that some lawless members of the public still find it difficult to heed the instruction on stipulated dumping hours of 6pm to 12midnight and have continued to dump wastes even after they have been evacuated within the specified period.
The engagement of planters, he explained, is to arrest the ugly trend and ensure that these unpatriotic individuals who mess up the environment by dumping their wastes outside the approved dumping hours of 6pm to 12 midnight, when the service providers have finished cleaning the receptacles are ultimately checkmated.
“By so doing, and to a larger extent, these illicit behavior and activities will reduce for a cleaner and healthy environment in Port Harcourt and its environs; Bro Obuah assured.
