The Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency is committed to making Asaba more secure and clean for its residents and visitors alike.
This hint was dropped yesterday by Chief Patrick Ukah, the director general of the agency while addressing journalists in Asaba.
Ukah said the agency was working with security agencies to make life and properties secured in Asaba and its environment.
He therefore charged citizens to be security conscious. He pledged the readiness of the Sheriff Oborevwori administration to take the infrastructural development of Asaba to the next level, adding that contractors working on roads in Asaba are urged to complete the works according to specifications and on record time.
Ukah disclosed that making the environment clean was a collective effort, stressing that citizens would be convinced to keep their surroundings clean.
He, however, stated that sanitation courts were under way to punish those who failed to keep their surroundings clean.
More dump sites would be built and sweepers engaged to keep the environment clean and more habitable, said Ukah.
The aim, according to the director general, is to beautify Asaba to make it a tourism and investment hub of the South South.
He therefore charged journalists as sanitation ambassadors to carry the message of a clean and green Asaba to the residents.
He called on landlords to remove illegal structures attached to houses, warning that government might be forced to remove them.
Ukah added that the cost of removing such illegal structures shall be borne by the landlords.
He acknowledged the role of Zenith Bank in the beautification of Asaba and that more corporate bodies support shall be needed in that direction.
