The government's stance is resolute, emphasizing that violators will face hefty fines of N50,000 or potential prosecution by the Ebonyi State Environmental Sanitation court.
To facilitate proper waste disposal, residents are urged to meticulously bag their refuse and dispose of it between the hours of 5 a.m. and 8 p.m. at designated ministry-approved dumpsites and waste bins. This initiative strongly discourages littering on road medians or any public spaces within Abakaliki. The government has further deployed Environmental Marshals to enforce these regulations and apprehend individuals engaging in illegal dumping.Premium Times recognizes the critical role of high-quality, accessible journalism in an informed society.

Protest Erupts Over 3 Months Salary Arrears in Ebonyi StateOver 3,000 primary school teachers from 13 local government areas of Ebonyi State, Nigeria, staged a protest in Abakaliki, the state capital, demanding unpaid salaries for three months. Teachers accused local government leaders of causing the death of three teachers on Christmas Day due to non-payment of salaries. Governor Francis Nwifuru had given the local government leaders a 24-hour ultimatum to pay the teachers' salaries so they could celebrate Christmas like other civil servants in the state. However, the state Commissioner for Education, Mr. Paul Awo Nwabosi, threatened to take action against the protesting teachers instead of listening to their grievances. The commissioner ordered the arrest of the protesting teachers, who were forced into a waiting Hilux van.
