The Abuja Environmental Protection Board is charged with waste management in the entire Federal Capital Territory . But the agency says its mandate is to concentrate on the capital city while the six area councils in the FCT have the responsibility to manage waste in their areas.
A particularly offensive dump is located directly behind Government Day Junior Secondary School, Suleja. It is beside a canal where people indiscriminately dump refuse. Drainage water and debris from waste have filled up the canal and grown into the dump by its side. “We have to close the windows in this block, which is directly opposite the dump. As you can see, some of the students are crossing the drainage and this can cause infections and sickness for them. We need the government to clear the refuse and clean up the drainage. If possible, they should fence the place off,” she said.
“I know some of them dump the waste inside the river not far from here and some take it to the landfill. There is a central waste disposal site around the express, but I don’t know who dumps there,” he said. “We have called the attention of AMAC several times to the problem, but they have not been able to do anything about it.”
The AEPB places iron and plastic refuse bins at intervals along the streets. But the bins are often times filled and spilling before the trucks of the waste agency arrive to remove the garbage. He said poor waste management is the reason the country keeps experiencing the outbreak of diseases such as cholera, Yellow fever, malaria, and diarrhea.
Mr Ibrahim said domestic wastes are meant to be disposed of in the green plastic waste bins of the agency. He explained the arrangement for waste management in the FCT.
The picture is really showing major parts of Abuja. Journalism with Madness.
Where is the so called AEPB? Oh I get it now they are busy chasing poor hawkers.
All those ones at AEPB do all day is arrest hawkers, instead of ensuring refuse sites are constantly cleared. This Bello guy is worst FCT minister.
They won't see this as a problem. They're busy harassing ladies.
There's a Next Level minister in charge.
