File Copy: Akwa Ibom Governor, Umo Eno
Akwa Ibom State Government says it is ready to enter into partnership with potential investors or organisations that will collaborate with it to turn its environmental challenges into a profitable and sustainable waste-to-wealth economy.
The state governor, Umo Eno, announced this in Uyo during a media interaction to mark his third anniversary on Saturday.
Eno, who expressed concern over the environmental condition of the state despite huge allocations to the Akwa Ibom State Environmental Protection and Waste Management Agency, said he had directed the agency to seek investors in waste management.
“I have directed the State Environmental Protection and Waste Management Agency to let us get a company that can help us work to turn this waste into wealth. The day we find that company and partner with them, you will not see waste again in our state.
