Abia serves abatement notice on NURTW, RTEAN over filth

For failing to participate in the last clean-up exercise in the state, the National Union of Road Transport Workers and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria in Umuahia has been directed to be issued with abatement notices.

The Transition Committee Chairman of Umuahia North LGA handed down this ultimatum to the state Ministry of Environment after monitoring March edition of the state monthly clean-up, expressing his disappointment that the Okigwe park being used by the the two unions was dirty unlike before when the park was run by the NURTW alone.

He promised to ensure that illegal parks in Umuahia are removed, and condenmed the practice of towing people’s vehicles parked along the streets and diverting such vehicles to elsewhere not the council headquarters.
