RSESA Assures On Enforcement Of Environmental Laws

The Chairman, Rivers State Environmental Sanitation Authority, Mr. Isoboye Jack, has declared his commitment towards the enforcement of all the environmental laws in the state.

Speaking with newsmen during the celebration of this year’s World Environment Day in Port Harcourt, Jack noted that although there were laws concerning obvious aspects of environmental issues, they were hardly enforced and assured that, “with me on board, we are going to enforce these laws, particularly as it concerns refuse disposing time and also using the receptacle properly”.
