… Announces Restriction of Movement During the Period

The Rivers State Waste Management Agency, RIWAMA, has announced that there will be sanitation exercise on Saturday, June 30th, 2018.

Sole Administrator of Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA), Bro. Felix Obuah stated that the exercise will hold across the 23 Local Government Areas of Rivers State from 7 am – 10 am.

The RIWAMA Sole Administrator, who made the announcement, through a statement issued by his special adviser on media, Jerry Needam in Port Harcourt on Thursday, said there will be a strict restriction of human and vehicular movements during the period of the exercise from 7 am – 10 am.

Bro. Felix Obuah emphasized that this statement supersedes the earlier statement as restriction of movements during the exercise will be strictly enforced.

The RIWAMA boss also enjoined all Rivers people and those living and doing business in the State to comply accordingly by using the period to clean their environment or surroundings as defaulters will face the wrath of the law.

He urged owners of trucks (individuals and cooperate organizations) to make available their trucks for evacuation of waste that would be generated during the period of the sanitation exercise.

While urging the people of the State to support Governor Nyesom Wike’s vision of a clean and safe environment, Bro. Obuah reiterated the uncompromised commitment of the Agency (RIWAMA) in making Port Harcourt regain its Garden City status as well as having a healthy and clean State for the citizenry.
