Is wike that poured the dirt on the ground. Nigerians should learn how to dispose waste properly first
Explain. If one is living in Abuja ...tell us how he should dispose of his waste . Don't forget ...Abuja is a city ...not a village. We are waiting.

The guy's write up makes a whole lot of sense to me. Portable water.... sanitation ...and electricity are most critical to a city. Any one of these can have a major negative impact on a city. Bad or congested roads? ...life will go on but at a slower pace. I just can't imagine the stench since Abuja is hot...this should be the No. 1 priority. What's the purpose of the Environmental Protection agency? ...the Center for Disease Control? ... how can they not know? The guy made references about his other cities handle theirs but we seem not to learn or try to emulate them . Sometimes we see things that have a tremendous impact on our lives and that I strongly believe is the case with Wike. Maybe in his first visit abroad ...maybe Florida he was impressed with the road network but moreso the "flyovers"....to date he sees development through lenses of concrete and asphalt.

We can't expect people to voluntarily dispose of their garbage properly even if bins are provided. It is the reason cities have laws to penalize those who don't...but provide receptacles and guidelines as to how to dispose of what. With the laws come enforcement...consistent enforcement...which is critical.

Sometimes in Kurudu axis, refuses dump do block roads and cause serious traffic.

Road is good oh, just that refuse has almost covered it all thereby slowing vehicular movement

Woke doing well with the roads and bridges but he need to step up on environmental and security
How will he not do well. When he is having huge kickback from the contracts.
There is little or no money to be made from environmental and security that's why he is not paying attention to them.

As they have nothing to use to attack Wike again, they have now moved to waste management. They keep throwing everything at him with the hope that one will stick.
You are struggling to make sense.

Cry cry IPOB. W sight una. Shane no dey catch una. Wike is a performer.
grin grin No be only IPOB.
So anyone who refuses to be gullible and man up to criticise your overlords is an IPOB? Indeed, BATists and Agbadorians abandoned their brains when signing membership forms.
Aside this issue of indiscriminate waste disposal, insecurity is seriously ravaging the FCT: one chance, kidnapping, armed robbery, etc.
And lastly, I'm not in anyway connected to the Igbo speaking tribe, not to talk of been an IPOB.
Wike is a failure simple!

Chachalogo:
Wike is the worst FCT minister after Bala Mohammed.
FTC after many years
You can even say He is worse than Bala Mohamned because Bala did not pretend to do anything.

Wike acts like He is doing the most, yet....

Who is responsible for the recycling?

And what do you mean by "recycling" in this context?
uuzba:
There's no how you will be developing a city, with people living there...
eating and shitting up and down...
They are going to produce waste, and if you don't start recycling,...
your waste systems will get overloaded and the whole place
will become a mess.

Hmm. This one is hard as it plays DIRECTLY into our culture and psyche. What we (black Nigerians) value and how we (black Nigerians) treat our environment.

I was thinking about the Netherlands that has the best waste recycling system in the world.
I just researched a bit about how it was formed.
This is the summary:
The Dutch waste recycling system was not "set up" by one single entity at one time. It has evolved over decades through a combination of government policy driving sustainability goals and significant private sector investment and innovation in collection, sorting, and reprocessing technologies. The government sets the rules and ensures basic service delivery (often via municipalities), while the private sector provides the operational backbone, technology, and end-market for recycled materials, often under the framework of EPR. This collaboration is key to its success

So applying this to Nigeria,
we just have to STOP SHITTING UP AND DOWN THE PLACE LIKE DIRTY PEOPLE!!!!

Lol @ your last statement.

Okay i understand your write-up. You wrote well.

But i want to ask. What about in a place where you don't have government officials who come to dispose refuse in that particular vicinity, or they don't come often, how will the residents handle their waste?
