The Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA) has banned open defection around the UNIZIK Junction, the heart of the state capital.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of ACTDA Osita Onuko, disclosed this to our correspondent at the weekend.
Kpakpando gathered that the agency’s decision was sequel to a petition by a senior journalist in the state which was forwarded to Onuko’s telephone line some days ago, condemning the act.
The UNIZIK Junction area has a cluster of motor parks and other beehive of activities with insufficient sanitary system.
Expressing dismay over continued indiscriminate open defecation in the capital city, especially in gutters around the UNIZIK Junction, Onuko recounted ACTDA’s persistent efforts in cleaning the area.
He revealed the Agency’s latest decision to station some officers of the Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra (OCHA Brigade) in the area for strict enforcement against such acts, henceforth.
