Motorists plying the Warri-Sapele Road, in Uvwie Government Area, have called on the Uvwie Council Chairman, Hon. Ransom Onoyake and the Environmental Special Task Force in the council to help dispose the refuse dump beside MTN office at Alaka Junction, Effurun.
The motorists noted that whenever they drove past Alaka Junction, there was an enduring offensive odour as a result of a huge refuse dump beside the MTN office. They further observed that the dump posed a hazard to human health.
Reacting to the development, the Community Liaison Officer (CLO) of MTN Office in Effurun, Mr Ochuko Akpomudje, said it was sad to see the huge unevacuated refuse dump beside the office premises. Akpomudje further said that the dump and the attendant foul odor were bad for business.
He said that he had reported the situation to the Unueeuro of Alaka Community, Chief Hope Akasa, who he noted promised to tell his people to stop dumping refuse beside the MTN office.
The CLO equally appeal to the Uvwie Council Chairman, Onoyake to bring refuse trucks to evacuate the refuse dump, with a plea to residents of Alaka Community to stop the dumping of refuse beside their office premises.
It would be recalled that barely two weeks ago, the Uvwie Council chairman, sealed off some shops at Effurun Market over illegal disposal of refuse at the road median.
