Delta Agency To Prosecute Persons Obstructing Sanitation Regulations

Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency (DSCTDA) has launched another round of environmental sanitation in key areas of the capital territory.

The director-general of the DSCTDA, Chief Patrick Ukah, issued a stern warning during the exercise.

He said anyone found violating sanitation regulations or obstructing the agency’s efforts would be arraigned before a mobile court.

He said the latest sanitation drive reflects the agency’s broader agenda to enforce environmental laws and uphold sustainable hygiene practices across the state capital territory.

“The operation aimed to clear accumulated waste, blockages, and illegal structures contributing to environmental degradation in the area”, Ukah stated..

Ms. Ngozi Peter led the public enlightenment efforts. Along with her sensitisation team, she actively engaged residents in discussing 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, conducted an intensive cleanup of drains and setbacks along the designated routes.

The exercise, which witnessed a strong turnout of agency personnel, sanitation workers and public sensitisation teams, began at the State Secretariat, moving through Macdon and extending to Akpu Junction, NTA Road, Anwai Road, Inter Beau Roundabout, and Camp 74, reinforced its commitment to maintaining a cleaner and healthier environment.
