Finally the news has reached the Governor’s ears as he’s taken into action to salvage the improper waste management in the state.
Gov Ayade who few days back gave a statement that the state is going to partner with agencies from Israel and Dublin to tackle the waste menace surrounding the state, now has done something humongous as he imports about 30 waste disposal trucks to combat the waste management issues in Calabar and its environs.
At the premises of the Governor’s office in Calabar, where some of the evacuation trucks and dumpsters were being received, the State Commissioner for Environment, Mr Mike Eraye, told reporters that it was part of a well-planned programme of the Governor for a sustainable and effective waste management system in the state.
Mr Eraye further stated that the challenge of a land space was being tackled while commending Ayade for funding the acquisition of the equipment despite the Economic challenges Nigeria was facing.
He maintained that the Local Content Policy as well as the “Buy Naija To Grow The Naira” initiative were considered in the purchase of the evacuation trucks made by Innoson Motors.
The vehicles are now at the Governor’s office where they are undergoing check up and screening before dispensation. The Governor promise the Cross River State Management Agency (CRSMA) will commence work as soon as possible.
