Sanitation Taskforce Promises To Clean Up PH

The Rivers State Taskforce on enviromental sanitation says it will clean up Port Harcourt City and environs within the next two weeks.
Chairman of the taskforce, chief Isoboye Jack, said this in Port Harcourt at the weekend while supervising a refuse evacuation along the Ada George Road in Port Harcourt.
He said, all contractors have also been mobilised and directed to commence the immediate clean up of the city.
According to him the clean up of the city will however take two weeks.
Jack said, the committee will also show the way out to refuse contractors that have no capacity.
He said the committee also intends to provide waste bins to some of the areas,to check the situation, where refuse are dumped indiscriminately.
The chairman also told journalists that the committee has directed refuse contractors working in both the Old and New GRA to adopt the house to house method of refuse collection.
He also threatened to arrest and prosecute any one found indiscriminately dumping refuse in the city.
Jack had earlier on Friday held meetings with both staff of the Rivers state waste management agency and refuse contractors where he charged them to brace up for the challenge of returning Port Harcourt to its garden city status.
It would be recalled that Governor Wike had last week set up the taskforce on sanitation to clean up the city.
