Public Announcement

The Government of Abia State notes with displeasure the continuing littering of streets, dumping of refuse into drainage-ways and construction of makeshift structures on top of gutters at Aba and Umuahia cities.

This unacceptable behaviour by individuals is unfortunately common along the newly reconstructed roads.

Those involved in these unsavory practices are hereby advised to immediately desist from such and dismantle all illegal structures built on top of drainage-ways or face the wrath of the law.

The Landlord Associations in the state, particularly at Aba, are by this notice called upon to ensure that gutters in front of houses on all the newly constructed roads are kept clean at all times as relevant Government agencies will soon commence arrest and prosecution of any landlord who defaults.

Operatives of the Traffic and Indiscipline Management Agency of Abia state (TIMAAS) and other relevant agencies are also by this announcement directed to fully deploy to the affected streets and roads to enforce relevant state laws.

The task of keeping Abia State clean and maintaining a healthy environment is the responsibility of all.

Chief John Okiyi Kalu
Honorable Commissioner For Information
