Enugu LG boss seeks stakeholders’ action against indiscriminate waste disposal

From Felix Ikem, Nsukka
The council Chairman, Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State, Hon. Jude Asogwa, has called for a coordinated effort by residents and stakeholders in the area to tackle the growing menace of indiscriminate dumping of refuse in drainage channels.
Asogwa made the call in Nsukka, at the weekend, during the council’s Multi-Stakeholders Environmental Town Hall Meeting, to discuss and curb the practice of emptying household and commercial trash into gutters.
The chairman said that most of the flooding experienced in some of the council areas were due to indiscriminate waste dumping in drainage channels, which he said was blocking the free flow of water.
