The Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency (DSCTDA) on Monday, 30/7/2025, launched another vigorous round of environmental sanitation across key areas of the capital territory, reinforcing its commitment to maintaining a cleaner and healthier environment.

The exercise began at the State Secretariat, moving through Macdon and extending to Akpu Junction, NTA Road, Anwai Road, Inter Beau Roundabout, and Camp 74. It witnessed a strong turnout of agency personnel, sanitation workers, and public sensitization teams.

Leading the public enlightenment efforts was Ms. Ngozi Peter, who, along with her sensitization team, actively engaged residents on the importance of a clean environment. They also educated shop owners and the public on their roles in maintaining sanitation standards, including compliance with Private Sector Participation (PSP) waste disposal registration.

The Environmental Sanitation Unit, led by Mr. Isaac Nwosu and supported by the agency’s Field Marshal, carried out an intensive cleanup of drains and setbacks along the designated routes. The operation aimed to clear accumulated waste, blockages, and illegal structures contributing to environmental degradation in the area.

The Director General of the DSCTDA, Mr. Patrick Ukah, issued a stern warning during the exercise, emphasizing that anyone found violating sanitation regulations or obstructing the agency’s efforts will be promptly arraigned before a mobile court.

This latest sanitation drive reflects the agency’s broader agenda to enforce environmental laws and uphold sustainable hygiene practices across the Delta State Capital Territory.
