The government of Adamawa State has announced the implementation of house-to-house inspections during monthly sanitation exercises to ensure comprehensive compliance among residents.
Mr. James Iliya, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, made this announcement to reporters following a recent inspection of the monthly sanitation in Yola over the weekend. He emphasized that the new monitoring approach aims to enhance the hygiene standards in the state, suggesting that residents will take sanitation more seriously when their homes are subject to inspection.
“The government is committed to fostering a clean and healthy environment and minimizing the risk of disease outbreaks,” Iliya stated.
Hamma Adama Njabbari, the Executive Chairman of the Adamawa State Board of Internal Revenue, revealed that 30 shops have been identified and will soon receive notices demanding that they clean their surroundings. He pledged that these notices would be issued immediately and warned of potential penalties for non-compliance.
Njabbari expressed gratitude to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri for reinstating the monthly sanitation initiative, which had been neglected by previous administrations.
Additionally, the commissioner for the Environment, Mohammed Sadiq Mohammed, announced plans to establish more mobile courts to address sanitation violations. This initiative aims to hold accountable those who disregard the sanitation exercises.
The monthly sanitation efforts were overseen by the state’s Deputy Governor, Professor Kaletapwa Farauta, who visited various locations including the federal and state secretariats along Yola Road, Jimeta bypass, and the Hayin Gada areas.
