CRSWMA Boss restates commitment towards environmental habitability amid growing urban development in C'River

By Daniel Bebia, CRS-MOI Officer reporting from CRSWMA

The General Manager, Cross River State Waste Management Agency (CRSWMA), Mr. Oko Sunday has restated his Agency's commitment towards a serene, clean and healthy environment, as urban development continues to increase in the State.

Mr. Sunday made the commitment during an assessment to ascertain areas in need of skip bins to enhance proper refuse disposal in Calabar, the State capital.

While on survey with his team, the General Manager said assessment was imperative owing to increasing population and the need to maintain a clean and safer environment.

Mr. Oko stated that it was also aimed at identifying spots for appropriate placement of bin and always to ensure that waste contractors live up to their contractual obligation.

According to the GM, the bins, if placed at close distances to each other, would discourage indiscriminate dumping of waste thereby achieving the Green Master Plan of Cross River State.

The GM frowned at some contractors who evacuate waste without covering their trucks and late evacuation, warning that such unwholesome acts would not be tolerated henceforth.

He cautioned scavengers to desist from littering the ground, but rather scavenged at designated areas preferably the dumpsite.

Among the team were: Mr. John Ikashi, Mr. Ben Okori, Mr. Effiom Nyong and Mr. Esu Bassey
