RSG Approves Two New Sewage Treatment Plants
As part of measures to curb the indiscriminate dumping of sewage within the city and water bodies around the state, the Rivers State Government has approved the installment of two modern sewage treatment plants.
The Special Assistant to the Governor on Waste Water Control, Dr Ogu Emejuru disclosed this chat with journalists on Monday in Port Harcourt.
One of the plants would be installed at the new city while the other would be at the old city, Dr Emejuru said, adding that the plants would be delivered in two months time.
Though Dr. Emejuru did not disclose the cost of the plants, he said a lot of equipment have to be put in place including laboratories and land for its installaion.
The two treatment plants have the capacity of handling 250,000 litres of waste per day, which would be enlarged as the population swells.
Dr. Emejuru said already the site for the one at the new city has been approved within the Choba/Ogbogoro axis, “but because of the Sports Festival and infrastructure department in the new city, there is an alternative arrangement to locate it within the hospital and the university community”.
He submitted that when once the plants are installed sewage disposers would stand to gain because it would reduce the expenses they incur in acquiring sites for waste disposal.
The Governor’s special aide also stressed the need for sensitisation and enforcement, noting that his office has begun series of sensitisation and enlightenment on the sewage disposers.
“Because of the persuasion and meetings use have with them, they have been able to form an association of sewage contractors in the state”, he remarked.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
