One of the Commissioner nominees screened by Abia State House of Assembly on Tuesday, Mr Tony Nwanmuo has revealed what he wants to make of the wastes in major cities in the state.

During his screening by Abia State House of Assembly members on Tuesday, Mr. Nwanmuo said if confirmed he will convert wastes in Aba, Umuahia and other cities into renewable energy.

According to Mr. Nwanmuo said part of his duty would be to forward a proposal on how Abia can recycle waste in the State.

"I will also look at the area of our markets, given the fact of what we call climate change, you will find out that when you go to a market like Ariaria, traders are using Generators which is not good for their system, as a way of proposal, I will come up with means on how we can achieve renewable energy.

"If we install a solar system in the markets, the shop owners will pay a token for it to the Government.

"It is better we consider this renewable energy as an alternative source of income", he said.

On the discrepancies in his names, the Commissioner Nominee said all the names he swore to in affidavit belong to him.

After a series of explanations, the nominee was ushered out by the Sergeant-At-Arms.

"My humble advice to you is to take a look at the documents you submitted here for future purposes" the Speaker advised the nominee.

Scam

This one is not totally honest. You don't have a plan for evacuation, you are grabbing about converting them to energy.

Will the governor die if he decides to (as a matter of emergency) tackle waste? I was in Aba one time, Osisioma is just lost. Residents have turned one carriage way of the Aba-Port harcourt road to a waste dump.

The street where Aba North Secretariat is is something else yet this one is talking about waste to energy.

Abia has so much potentials but instead of fixing it, the political class are just unserious. You ban Okadas, then say Tricycles can't operate after 7pm effectively almost killing the night life or night business.

I dey vex abeg

I think it's better that way.
Every state should use their resources for something beneficial.
At least Abia has large amount of dirt's and waste, that alone is a revenue if utilized well

Most dirtiest state in Nigeria

Would be nice if this isn't one of those beautiful proposals we all see on paper.

Nigeria hasn't utilized the common solar, and wind channels is it waste energy that it can utilize

Ok. This is a very Good way to go.
