The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has been urged to urgently address the issue of waste in Abuja to avert public health crisis.
The Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, gave this advice on Friday morning via a post on his official X account.
“My own Matter of Particular Concern (MPC) is the state of waste management and disposal in Abuja. Something has certainly broken with waste management and collection in Abuja that requires urgent fixing,” Ajayi said.
“Refuse is taking over the city. Minister Wike should pay immediate attention to this. We salute his work in expanding road infrastructure and restarting many abandoned road projects and bridges. His achievements are very visible in this regard.
“The minister must now avert public health crisis with heaps of refuse and odious stench taking over public spaces.”
