RIWAMA Boss Explains Proliferation Of Waste In Some Parts Of Rivers

The Sole Administrator, Rivers State Waste Management Agency, (RIWAMA), Felix Obuah, has explained why wastes are noticed in some parts of Port Harcourt, the State capital and its environs.
Obuah, shortly after an official visit to the affected dumpsites, revealed that three of the major RIWAMA dumpsites broke down following a sudden downpour which affected some of the agency’s equipment, assuring that efforts were being made to put the dumpsites back to use as soon as possible to commence full utilization of the affected dumpsites.
The RIWAMA boss explained that evacuation of wastes will be delayed for a day due to the breakdown of the dumpsites, occasioned by a sudden downpour in the state.
Obuah appealed to residents in Port Harcourt and its environs especially from the affected areas where wastes are yet to be evacuated, to bear with the agency as everything humanly possible was being done to ensure that the dumpsites are put back to use without delay and the wastes evacuated.
The RIWAMA Sole Administrator further called on residents in the affected areas to observe sanitary decorum and not to take undue advantage of the situation to dump their refuse indiscriminately.
