In a bid to sustain a healthier and cleaner environment, the Delta State Waste Management Board has returned to the Ibusa dumpsite in Oshimili North Local Government Area for another round of cleanup and maintenance. This follows a previous exercise conducted on December 30 and 31, 2024, and January 1, 2025.
The renewed maintenance efforts, which commenced on January 10, 2025, aim to address the substantial waste accumulation from the festive season. Spearheaded by Chairman Mathew Mofe Edema, the Board continues to drive Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s M.O.R.E Agenda, particularly its emphasis on environmental cleanliness and public health.
During the initiative, Hon. Mathew Mofe Edema, alongside Board Members Hon. Felix Erhimedafe (Delta Central), Hon. Igbenije Ndudi Cosmas (Delta North), and Chief Mrs. Amb. Hon. Ethe Enifome Odunwa (Delta South), highlighted the critical need for consistent waste management practices. He urged residents to collaborate with the government by adopting proper waste disposal habits to ensure sustainable community living.
The Waste Management Board’s commitment to proactive waste management reinforces its dedication to creating a cleaner, safer, and more habitable environment across Delta State.
