The Deputy General Manager of the Abia State Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA), Catechist Ambrose Jonah, has lauded the collaborative efforts of all agencies in the environmental sector, which have improved the status of the state as one of the cleanest in the Federation.
Interacting with newsmen shortly after monitoring the December 2024 environmental sanitation exercise, Jonah expressed confidence that the collaboration will reach new heights in the forthcoming year and that Abians will also support Governor Alex Otti’s efforts by ensuring a cleaner and greener Abia.
He encouraged Abians not to lose focus on environmental cleanliness during the yuletide but to maintain a clean environment, adding, “If you eat, ensure that you don’t drop it or litter the environment. Make sure you store your waste properly and clean your surroundings while enjoying the festivities.”
“I want to appreciate all the agencies, government appointees, traders, and everyone who turned out in large numbers to ensure that today’s sanitation recorded a very huge success. Our performance was outstanding. Everyone worked together to ensure that everywhere was clean, and we did exceptionally well.”
The ASEPA Deputy General Manager, who appreciated Governor Otti’s assistance to the agency, also assured him that ASEPA will not disappoint.
“We will continue to do everything possible to ensure that the environment is clean. We have no other business than to maintain a clean environment in the state,” Catechist Jonah said, as he envisions a better year in 2025.
Also speaking, Mrs. Urenna Abazi, the Director General of the Abia State Orientation Agency, said that the agency has been engaging Abians and educating them on maintaining a healthy environment, and she appreciated the fact that the effort is yielding the desired results.
