 We are Partners in Making Anambra a Clean and Green State, Ibezim Assures Waste Management Contractors 

By Vincent  O Ezechukwu 

To actualize the vision of the Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo CFR to turn Anambra into a Clean, Green, and Sustainable homeland, the state Deputy Governor, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim has reassured waste management contractors that they are partners in the bid to realize this very important vision of the governor.

Dr. Ibezim while speaking during an interactive session with select Transition Committee Chairpersons, and the contractors, at the Government House Awka, on Tuesday, April 4, 2023,  appealed to them to add vigor to their efforts in ensuring that the state is free of refuse, stating that the Governor just last week flagged off a massive drainage desilting which include waste evacuation and management, as part of the clean green and sustainable Anambra state project.

He declared that "We are continuing desilting and we are not stopping until everywhere in Anaambra is clean. We are embarking on massive waste evacuation and while we are still injecting funds into waste management,  the plan is to get private sectors involved at a stage in the process." 

He thanked them for their patience and sacrifice while assuring them that their demands will be met by the Governor, warning that incompetent contractors will be removed from the system.

While airing their opinions, contractors from Onitsha South complained about the cost of diesel and irresponsible dumping of refuse by residents as some of the challenges hindering efficient service delivery while appealing for prompt payment and enforcement of existing laws on indiscriminate dumping of refuse.

On their parts, the TC Chairperson of Njikoka Hon. Clement Aguiyi, alongside a contractor from the LGA, suggested that Anambra should transit from waste conveying to proper waste management, where waste is sorted, recycled, and put back into use in the society, they, therefore appealed to the state government to provide land for sorting of waste in the council area.

 Lilian Orogbu: "A beauty pageant or a federal lawmaker?" By Izuchukwu Adichie Apart from the fact that Lilian Orogbo diverted N200 million federal government palliatives meant for the people of Awka North and South constituency, she has a trait of a "beauty pageant and ineffective lawmaking". So when the announcement was made that she won the election for a federal house, and I saw her photos, I asked myself if it wasn’t such a calamity for a beauty pageant to transition into politics and even to represent Awka. Such a calamity!! Compared with other female federal lawmakers from Anambra both in the past and present, Orogbo, the beauty - pageant lawmaker in her eight months has not been able to meet the legislative expectations of her constituent, has not attracted a single project or intervention, and has clearly shown she talk without some level of thought or cognition. However, how can a lawmaker who should partner with her state Governor in promoting law and ord
