Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo
The Anambra State Government has commenced a crackdown on owners of structures causing environmental degradation, as well as individuals blocking waterways and indiscriminately dumping refuse into drainage channels.
As part of the initiative, the government has declared Saturday, July 4, 2026, as the commencement date for a statewide desilting and waste evacuation exercise.
The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor.
Mefor said Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration had made environmental sustainability a top priority to address flooding and other environmental challenges affecting the state.
