ENUGU LAUNCHES “CLEAN CITY INITIATIVE” TO IMPROVE WASTE MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION

Enugu State has unveiled the “Clean City Initiative,” a bold new plan to tackle the growing problem of waste management in the state capital. The initiative aims to reduce waste accumulation, enhance waste recycling, and improve public hygiene through a combination of public education and infrastructure upgrades.

The state government is collaborating with local waste management companies to implement an efficient waste disposal system and is providing residents with designated bins for different types of waste. A key part of the initiative includes the establishment of a new recycling plant in the city, which will also generate employment opportunities for the local population.

Public reaction has been largely positive, with many residents applauding the initiative. However, some have expressed concerns over the sustainability of the project, urging the government to ensure that waste collection services are both affordable and accessible to all communities.
