Moses Osogi, the Cross River State commissioner for environment, has spoken highly of UNICAL’s sanitary conditions.
After Saturday’s environmental sanitation exercise, during which he toured many locations in Calabar, he reached this conclusion.
The filthiness of the establishment was deemed despicable by Osogi. The uncleanliness of the dorms was another source of concern for him.
Although Osogi praised the University of Calabar for its excellent level of compliance during this month’s cleanliness exercise, he claimed that the school was not doing enough to protect the environment.
He made it official: the state government will help the school out so that pupils have better living circumstances.
As the commissioner put it, “I am pleased to see that residents, particularly those in the metropolis have shown commendable compliance” despite the fact that they had a month off owing to the JAMB exam.
As a response to the difficulties with waste management in the state, the commissioner thanked the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) for their Waste Intervention Initiative, which sent trash cans to the ministry to aid with garbage evacuation.
He emphasised that the bins are there for the public good and encouraged residents who need them to request for them. Those who disobeyed the cleanliness law were ordered to be punished by the commissioner.
