The Sole Administrator of the Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA), Bro. Felix Obuah has announced the cancellation of this month’s state-wide sanitation exercise billed for Saturday, September 29, 2018.
A statement issued by the Agency in Port Harcourt said the cancellation of the sanitation exercise was due to the ongoing General Certificate of Education (GCE) examination across the country on Saturday, September 29, 2018.
Bro. Obuah said the cancellation of the exercise became necessary so as to enable students and others participating in the examinations to get to their various centres unimpeded.
While wishing Rivers future leaders who are participating in the examinations success in their endeavor, the RIWAMA boss, Bro Obuah, however urged those living and doing businesses in the State to keep their surroundings clean, at all times.
He further advised all residents in the state to cultivate good sanitary habits by ensuring that their surroundings are clean at all times and emptying their gutters and drainage systems to allow for free flow of water.
