RIWAMA To Sanction Erring Contractors
The Sole Administrator,
Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA), Bro Felix Obuah, has said that hardtimes await waste contractors who fail to carry out their responsibilities.

In a statement signed by his Media Aide, Jerry Needam and made available to the press last week in Port Harcourt , Obuah. Noted that the waste contractors ought to do their duties, saying that the state has shown much commitment towards keeping part of its promise.
According to him, RIWAMA is not prepared to work with unwilling contractors, that those who are already in should show regard towards their jobs.
He maintained that his administration in RIWAMA has zero tolerance for clean environment and would ensure that it was properly executed.
Though, the statement was not specific as to the nature of the sanction, Obuah teased that any contractor found wanting would not go scot-free with the agency.
The Tide learnt that the agency has taken a new dimension since Obuah took over the mantle of its leadership.
It was further gathered that the agency has saved a lot of resources for the state government by what pundits described as prudent management of resources under Bro Felix Obuah leadership.
