Sole Administrator of the Rivers State Waste Management Agency, RIWAMA, Bro Felix Obuah has again warned against dumping of wastes into gutters and other water channels in the State.
This is even as he has frowned at the continued dumping of wastes at the wrong places by residents of the state.
This was contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt by Jerry Needam, media aide to the RIWAMA boss.
Obuah appealed to those living and doing business in the state to have a change of attitude.
The RIWAMA boss said the attitude of dumping all sorts of trash, hazardous chemicals and other solid wastes into water channel contributes to blockages thereby causing flooding in some parts of the city.
Obuah also appealed to construction companies, event managers and roadside business operators to stop dumping solid wastes into gutters and other water channels, and urged them to take advantage of government approved receptacles for dumping of wastes.
The Sole Administrator of RIWAMA also urged all service providers to ensure that their zones are kept clean always.
PHSpectator recalls that the issue of proper waste disposal has been plaguing this current administration which has led to the indiscriminate sacking of several service providers.
