The Sole Administrator, Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA), Bro. Felix Obuah, has announced the cancelation of this month’s monthly sanitation exercise billed to hold on Saturday, April 29, 2017.

Obuah, in a statement, however, said the cancellation of the monthly exercise does not preclude residents from cleaning their homes and surroundings.

The RIWAMA boss particularly urged residents and all those doing business in Port Harcourt, the state capital, its environs and in the various Local Government Areas to ensure that their surroundings are clean and dispose of their waste at the government approved receptacles.

Obuah said the agency is doing everything possible to ensure that the state remains at the peak of waste management and environmental cleanliness.

The Sole Administrator also called on Rivers people and all residents in the state, particularly all those who have not registered and have attained the age of 18, to take advantage of the cancellation of Saturday’s monthly sanitation exercise and participate in the ongoing INEC Voters Registration Exercise which commences Thursday, April 27, 2017, in the various LGAs nationwide, including Rivers State.
