Sudden SOS to Gov Charles Soludo on Anambara Environmental emergency, written by Mkpisi Ndi Egede.
Dear Governor,I come this night because this is pure emergency and which will save life and rescue the State , especially with this torrential rain and wicked flood that is terrifying everybody.
Sir,the Saturday clean up will be a huge flop if you do not have supervising Agency and head who will be on 24 hours cleaning the pile ups from the sanitation.
Let me explain, all the dirt removed from gutters and drainages needs to be scooped out immediately,so that it won't go back to same gutter and constitute more hazard. Which is most likely, as any rain will send them back to places it will cause more harm than good.
As you know ,we are in heavy rainy season,it might rain on that Saturday night and once it rains and the dirts remain at places it was scooped out of , definitely it must be washed back into places, and flood will turn untold carnage in the state ,so the aim will be defeated.
The question now is where will they dump the trash even if Trucks are pushed out to the street for evacuation of dirts?
As all dumps in the state are non functional as we speak,the last one is the one located at Onitsha Owerri road,which is without access road and taking dump into it kills most of the Vehicles because of the extremely bad road into the dump,the place is dump and the road is dirtier and more useless than the dump itself.
Engr Chikeluba who is in charge of that Dump is not doing any job that can maintain the Dump and now it has collapsed,soon Waste will clog owerri Onitsha Road.
You need somebody who understand what it takes , somebody who will start with access road and make the place Working again and who can partner with those who can recycle and have solutions to the dirts generated in the state .
ASWAMA doesn't have CEO after you dissolved it ,it must be operational to have effect, And a seasoned participant with ASWAMA will bring seamless reality into it .
Former TC Chairman of Njikoka who is emergency care taker to environment have not managed Waste in ANAMBRA and he is finding it difficult to even make a move that works , what you need is somebody that have handled environmental or waste disposal of the State ,not who read such in school ,as practical is what we need in the state ,the Worst is handing our state environment to somebody who studied Overseas where they bag trash and deliver same on daily,but out here we need experienced veteran who can wrestle the menace.
As our state is in great mess and our pattern is unique in old School.
I come in peace because this is our state and odinma ,odiri anyi Nile.
Your Special Adviser on Good Governance, Mazi Odera POg JP, Mkpisi Ndi Egede.
