The Ministry of Environment, Akwa Ibom State, has started
clearing heaps of refuse around Uyo, the capital of the State.
This afternoon, men of the Green Brigade were seen emptying
refuse bins at Stadium Avenue and also around the Akpandem Market area, and the
Ewet Housing Estate, and several other parts of the Uyo Capital City.
However, by 12: 30pm, at Nepa Line by Aka Road, heaps of waste dumped at
the collection point by residents of the area had over-flown into the road as
could be seen in the picture above. A similar situation was also observed in
Ikot Abasi Street by Obio Imo Street.
For some days now, domestic wastes have been left to pile up
around Uyo Capital City, prompting an outcry from the residents.
