RSESA Moves To Check Street Trading
The Rivers State Environmental Sanitation Authority, (RSESA) says the decision to enlist the services of the security Agencies in the on-going effort to check street hawking in Port Harcourt City and environs was to forestall the possibility of an attack.
The executive chairman of the Authority, Hon. Isoboye Jack who said this during an inspection of the Authority by the state Commissioner for Environment, alleged that some of the street hawkers are armed.
Hon. Jack also said that the authority lacked the necessary facilities and equipment to ensure the task of sanitising Port Harcourt and its environs of refuse.
He said that, the authority lacked vehicles to carryout its functions while monthly subventions are not being paid to it and solicited the support of the ministry towards finding solution to the problems.
