      Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that his administration is committed to returning Port Harcourt to its Garden City status.
The Governor gave all Sanitation Service Providers an ultimatum of seven days to effectively clean up their respective beats. He declared that at the expiration of the seven days, Service Providers found wanting will have their contracts revoked.
Governor Wike also stated that his administration will improve the sanitary condition of Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas through diligent implementation of the environmental sanitation agenda of his administration.
Speaking during an interactive meeting with service providers of the the Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA) on Monday at the Government House, Port Harcourt, Governor Wike said the sanitary condition of Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas is unacceptable.
"As I go out daily, I feel unhappy because of the filt in different parts of the state capital. The job of cleaning this town must be done.
"At present, Port Harcourt is dirty and we must accept this fact. I stated this during my inauguration address. But we are determined to change the situation ", he said.Governor Wike charged all environmental service providers to live up their responsibilities and justify the fees paid by the state government.
"I was not the person who awarded the contracts. I don't even know the contractors. I have not restricted contracts to my supporters. Several of you are from the opposition parties.
"But we must endeavour to ensure that all parts of the state capital remain clean", he said.
Governor Wike and the Environmental Sanitation Service Providers of RIWAMA examined all the sanitation beats in Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas.

  1. This design is steller! You most certainly know how to keep a reader amused.

    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Great job.
    I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that,
    how you presented it. Too cool!
