Residents of Amechi Awkwunaw in Enugu South Council Area have appealed to the Waste Management Agency (ESWAMA) to evacuate heap of refuse along Jim Nwobodo road.
Some of them who spoke to our correspondent said the road had became an eyesore especially when it rains and capable of bringing diseases upon the residents of the area and other users of the road.
They said the refuse littering the road had become a source of worry to residents of the area.
The President General (PG) of Amechi Awkunanaw Community in Enugu South Local Government Area, Chief Paul Agbo, urged the ESWAMA as a matter of urgency to evacuate the refuse stressing that it had taken over the road, thereby causing a lot of traffics.
Chief Agbo who revealed that the effects of the unwholesome act were dangerous to health of the people and environment, especially flooding, urged the citizens to support the efforts of the government to make the streets clean and habitable.
He said despite the huge investment of the government in waste management, the impact was not felt at the grassroots, with heaps of refuse taking over most parts of the state.
Thr PG beg the government of Gov. Peter Mbah, to come to the aid of the community by clearing of the refuse dump and reconstruction of the road which was one of the major roads in Enugu South LG.
"The refuse has lasted for years and it has caused health hazard, blockage of the road drainage and causing dilapidation.
He called on the local and state governments as well as other agency to come to the rescue of the community.
"I call on the Enugu State waste management agency (ESWAMA), ministry of work etc for intervention," he appealed.
A tricycle rider plying the route, lamented that there was no bin on the road for residents to dump their waste.
Also, another resident who lives close said the government should overhaul its system of refuse collection and disposal.
When our correspondent visited the area, the stench from the dump was offensive, it was discovered that residents dump their waste on the road and waterways whenever it rains.
Our correspondent further reports that the popular Amagugwu road leading to the residence of the first executive governor of the then old Anambra State Governor, Chief Jim Nwobodo, had been taken over by heaps of refuse.
From Garriki, opposite satellite housing to Amechi Awkunanaw community through to Eke Otu, he observed that refuse has taken over the road, hindering vehicular movement.
It would be recalled that Enugu State government over the weekend approved money for the reconstruction of roads in the state, while making efforts to keep Enugu metropolis clean.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
