Sokoto Residents Storm Streets With Brooms, Shovels To Collect 1m by olillywales(m): 1:30pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
Following the announcement of an incentive to give a combined sum of almost three million Naira to the cleanest neighbourhoods in Sokoto by the state government, residents of towns and villages trooped to the streets brandishing their brooms and using their shovels and other sanitation equipment to keep their surroundings clean. Last Saturday at the flag-off of the state’s special environmental sanitation exercise, Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal announced that the top three cleanest neighbourhoods will get a reward of N1m, N750,000, and N500,000 respectively. He also announced that for the next four Saturdays, the state will observe the special sanitation exercise after which it will be held once every month. The all-state environmental sanitation is the first of its kind ordered by Sokoto state government since the stoppage of the National Environmental Sanitation Days by the Olusegun Obasanjo administration in 1999. Responding to Tambuwal’s incentive, residents of Sokoto metropolis and other parts of the state organised themselves into groups and invited officials of the state Ministry of Environment to ?inspect their areas in order to capture one of the top prizes on offer. Many said they not only cleaned their streets, but have involved their wives and female wards to ensure that all houses were cleaned from the inside. One of the youths, Misbahu Kamilu, from Kanwuri area of Sokoto town, said they are determined to win the N1m on offer as top prize. “As you can see, ?we have mobilised ourselves and dedicated this weekend to the sanitation of our environment, we hope to win the N1m,” he told reporters.N1m 2 Already, reports indicate that dirt-conveying trucks set aside for the programme have already been stretched due to the high number of dirts churned our from almost every street in the state. Residents have already appealed to the government to provide more vehicles for the exercise. The policy has received commendation from various professional groups and individuals in the state. Already, the Sultanate Council has expressed it’s support. Similarly, ?the Sokoto State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), in an announcement, said they are providing free medical services to all persons taking part in the sanitation exercise. Chairman of the association, Dr. Abdulgafar Jimoh, in a statement issued to reporters in Sokoto, said the programme will in no small measure improve on the health of the citizenry. “We wish to encourage the Tambuwal administration to maintain and sustain this public health initiative. It will reduce communicable and vector borne diseases like diarrhea and malaria which are among the major public health problems in our society. “We wish to assure the state government of continous support in developing the health sector in the state. A clean environment is a necessary requirement to a healthy life,” the statement added. http://www.metronaija.com/2015/08/sokoto-residents-storm-streets-with.html 4 Likes |

When Oshiomole said if Nigerians knew the full details of the havoc GEJ wrought on the nation,he would be stoned,some people said he talks too much. For a president known more for empowering militants and touts with phoney contracts and allowing all manner of politicians to do willy willy with our nations coffers,not to remember to provide ordinary portable water for his own hometown, not d entire Bayelsa o,summarizes the make up of the man that ruled Nigeria! Here is a man that was deputy gov,gov, deputy president then president;an entire 16yrs in topmost public office and yet his people cannot boast of him attracting the construction or building of a portable water facility to his hometown!! Anybody that says GEJ wasn't a curse to every territory he ever ruled is living in a nauseating denial!!! 31 Likes 7 Shares |
