CLEAN AND GREEN UYO

Earlier today, the chairman of Uyo local government area, Elder Imoh Okon led members of the council on a sanitation exercise to bolster his resolve to up the ante of serenity in the City.

The exercise which has given the capital city a massive face lift, is in line with Governor Udom Emmanuel's philosophy which is targeted at taking the state to the pinnacle of Cities with affinity with cleanliness and Orderliness.

Speaking during the exercise, the Chairman noted that the people of the area needed a serene environment to pitch and grow their businesses, "like we all know, cleanliness is next to Godliness and for us to continue to stay on top of our game as the state with the second highest foreign direct investment, we must keep our city and by extension, the state neat and tidy".
It could be recalled that the Mayor of Uyo had taken such crusade to Akpan Andem market during his first 100 days in office and the fruits of that move has been the free flow of traffic in that area. "we did a similar thing like this earlier in the year but people thought we were coming to victimize them and distorting their commerce but today, they have domesticated the culture of doing things orderly and vehicular movement is no longer webbed in unnecessary gridlock, need I say that this is the beauty of a responsive governance" He rethorted.

Also speaking, a member of the council, Honourable Linus Effiong said that they were delighted to be part of a government that places premium on sanitation, "we are in full support of this exercise because it will help us maintain healthy living which will be vital if we must function effectively ".

The exercise is expected to be on a regular basis and as the Chairman urges all and sundry to embrace the move and be a part of it.
