Abia State House of Assembly has said the poor management of refuse in the commercial capital of the state, Aba and Umuahia is traceable to limited working tools available to Abia State Environmental Protection Agency, ASEPA.

Speaking on a Matter of Urgent Public Importance on the floor of the House, Member representing Umuahia North State Constituency and Chairman, House Committee on Environment, Hon Kelechi Onuzuruike said the indiscriminate dumping of refuse in the State gives him concern.

He said some streets and roads in the State capital and Aba have been taken over by refuse and emphasised that refuse in Umuahia has become an eyesore which made him have an interface with the General Manager of Abia State Environmental Protection Agency.

Hon Kelechi Onuzuruike said the General Manager disclosed to him that the agency has only one functional Excavator and one roll-on truck, and that the agency spends over N1.3m every month to hire other equipment needed for the excavation of refuse.

Hon Kelechi further said that the General Manager said the agency have some equipment in their custody but cannot make use of them because they have not been paid for in full by the State Government. The lawmaker therefore prayed that the Executive Arm of Government pay for those new trucks so the agency can effectively do their job.

After contributions to the matter from members, the Speaker, Rt Hon Engr Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji asked the Chairman House Committee on Environment to summon the General Manager of Abia State Environmental Protection Agency to appear before the committee and furnish it with more facts on the situation and efforts made so far by the agency to improve the process.

How is this even going to be explainable, defensible or justifiable in God's name?

Our people are just too docile and truly suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

The uncouth son of the roguish former governor is even the speaker of the house and possibly angling himself to become the next governor himself while the people whose lives are being mismanaged and ruined defend and fight for them...laughable

Let me wait for Asgard73 to com and blame Tinubu

If Tinubu son is the speaker in the Lagos State House of Assembly, dem Tinubu haters won't let us rest with their wailings

Is happening in Abia now, and the developers are not wailing because no be Tinubu


BAT 2023

People r just dirty

Most of the things that side are in shambles. instead of them to concentrate on the east of Niger, they will be masturbating on Tinubu. Is Tinubu the Alpha and Omega of the people from the East? Maybe, Tinubu made Lagos what it is today...no wonder they are trooping in millions leaving their enclaves to scavengers governors


God Bless Incoming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

So in all the allocation they can't buy excavator to clear all the nonsense hipped on the road.. Abịa governor need to be flogged 100 strokes of the cane.

Shameful!

Illiterate Peoples of Biafra will still blame Tinubu and Buhari.

Deluded hybrids
