The Rivers State Waste Management Agency RIWAMA has cancelled the monthly sanitation exercise billed to hold across the state on Saturday, April 24, 2021.

The Sole Administrator, Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA), Bro. Felix Obuah in a statement asked residents and those doing business in the state to sustain the healthy habit of keeping their surroundings clean.

Bro. Obuah further urged them to observe the dumping hours of 6pm to 12 midnight daily, and also ensure all wastes are dumped at RIWAMA approved receptacles only.

He asked residents not to flout sanitation laws by dumping their wastes indiscriminately.

Obuah warned that Sanitation Marshals are still on duty and would arrest anyone seen flouting the sanitation rules.

The RIWAMA boss also commended Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike for his continued support and encouragement to the Agency.

Bro. Obuah also reemphasized that any landlord or shop owner who allows the frontage of his house or shop to be littered with wastes would be arrested and prosecuted.
