The Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency (DSCTDA) on Thursday issued a stern warning to residents in Asaba and environs to desist from violating sanitation regulations or face arraignment at the mobile court.

The Director General of the DSCTDA, Mr. Patrick Ukah, who issued the stern warning in Asaba, emphasised that anyone found obstructing the agency’s work will not be spared.

Ukah stated, among other things, that the sanitation drive reflects the agency’s broader agenda to enforce environmental laws and promote sustainable hygiene practices across the State Capital Territory.

He stated that the agency further launched another vigorous round of environmental sanitation across key areas of the capital territory, reinforcing its commitment to maintaining a cleaner and healthier environment.

The exercise commenced at the State Secretariat, moved through Macdon, and extended to Akpu Junction, NTA Road, Anwai Road, Inter Beau Roundabout, and Camp 74.

Leading the public enlightenment efforts was Ms. Ngozi Peter, who, along with her sensitisation team, actively engaged residents on the importance of a clean environment. They also educated shop owners and the public on their roles in maintaining sanitation standards, including compliance with Private Sector Participation (PSP) waste disposal registration.

The Environmental Sanitation Unit, led by Mr. Isaac Nwosu and supported by the agency’s Field Marshal, carried out an intensive cleanup of drains and setbacks along the designated routes.

They stated that the operation aimed to clear accumulated waste, blockages, and illegal structures contributing to environmental degradation in the area.
