Akwa Ibom State Environmental Protection and Waste Management Agency (AKSEPWMA) | ONGOING! Pre-Sanitation Exercise in Uyo Metropolis

Did you know that the influx of people into Akwa Ibom State has significantly increased waste generation in the Uyo metropolis?

To address this pressing issue, the State Governor, His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, known for his zero tolerance towards waste as part of The ARISE Agenda, has mobilized the Akwa Ibom State Environmental Protection and Waste Management Agency (AKSEPWMA) for an intensive pre-sanitation exercise, which is currently ongoing across the Uyo metropolis.

At the time of this report, the Chairman of AKSEPWMA, Obong Prince Ikim, was personally visiting all dump points to ensure the success of this crucial exercise. The security expert and politician used the occasion to emphasize the need for community participation in the upcoming Saturday Sanitation exercise to maintain Akwa Ibom’s status as the cleanest state in the country and to prevent diseases like cholera, which are caused by poor sanitary conditions.

He stated that the agency, under his leadership, has mapped out strategies in line with international best practices to protect our environment, urging residents to cooperate and avoid illegal dumping.
