Onitsha Gets A New Look Under Governor Soludo
Onitsha is not only known as a commercial hub, it is also known for being a highly polluted metropolis. Governor Soludo has come to change the story. The Governor stormed the area on Saturday at about 11:32am with his entourage for a cleanup exercise on Saturday.
He had ordered that shops should be locked so that the people would participate in the exercise to see that the environment is clean. The heaps of dirt and refuse in the area cause environmental pollution which is unhealthy for the residents. The heaps have been in the area for very long and it continues to grow by the day.
During the cleanup, excavators were used to evacuate the refuse from the environment. The drainage systems also got the touch. The channels were cleared to make a pathway for flood when it rains. The residents also joined in the cleanup exercise while the Governor supervised.
According to Prof Soludo, Onitsha North and South, Idemili North and Ogbaru local government areas must experience a wave of change at the end of the three-day exercise. He talked about the need for a clean and liveable environment.
The people of the community were seen jubilating at this initiative brought about by the new Governor.
