‎Mrs. Ndive further assured residents of her administration’s commitment to supporting environmental sanitation programmes and strengthening collaboration with community leaders to ensure a cleaner and greener environment.


The ‎Head of Department Environmental Health and Sanitation Mrs. Morka Amaka in her remarks, highlighted the need for sustained community participation in desilting drainage channels and waterways to prevent erosion, flooding and health-related challenges.
