The concern for maintaining a healthy environment in Ukwa East is paramount, as highlighted by Hon. Chibunna Akara’s recent actions in response to the alarming indiscriminate dumping of refuse along Cemetery Road Akwete/Ohanso link road. The inspection conducted by the Executive Chairman underscores the urgent need to address the environmental and health hazards that such dumping presents to local communities.
Hon. Akara’s immediate order for the clean-up and grading of the road demonstrates a proactive approach to restoring access and ensuring that residents can navigate their surroundings safely, without fear of encountering health risks. The commitment to environmental stewardship is clear, and the emphasis on responsible waste disposal practices is crucial for fostering a cleaner and healthier Ukwa East Local Government Area.
Furthermore, the warning regarding penalties and fines for indiscriminate refuse dumping serves as a vital reminder to the community about the importance of proper waste management. This initiative not only seeks to restore existing public spaces but also aims to cultivate a culture of environmental responsibility among residents.
As Ukwa East LGA moves forward, the collaboration between local leadership and the community will be essential in achieving sustained improvements in environmental health and cleanliness. Together, they can create a safer, healthier environment for all.
