NDDC Delivers 3rd Batch of Dumpsters to Cross River

Calabar, Nigeria – The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), through the State Representative, Rt. Hon. Orok Otu Duke, has delivered the third batch of dumpsters to Cross River, a strategic intervention aimed at addressing the persistent refuse disposal challenges in the state, particularly around Watt and Marian markets.

This laudable initiative marks the Commission’s commitment to supporting sustainable urban management in the state capital and its environs.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, Chief Duke lauded the progress made in waste management within the state but cautioned against complacency.

“The issue of waste management has improved considerably, but we must not rest on our laurels. The population of our state capital is growing, and with it comes an increase in waste. We must not wait until refuse overflows into the streets. Proactive measures are essential to ensure that we remain on top of this issue,” he stated.

Chief Duke further highlighted the intrinsic value of cleanliness, describing it as a virtue integral to the identity of the people of Cross River.

“Cleanliness is next to Godliness. We are not known as dirty people but as a clean and radiant people whose beauty is reflected in our actions and way of life. This is a legacy we must sustain for posterity,” he added.

The timely arrival of the dumpsters has been met with widespread commendation, particularly among residents and traders in the state capital. Both Watt and Marian markets, vital economic hubs, have long grappled with refuse disposal challenges.

This intervention by the NDDC is expected to significantly alleviate the situation, fostering a cleaner and healthier environment for business activities.

Speaking further, Duke stated, “We are expecting more Refuse bins which are delivered in batches because of the professional efforts, material and time needed to fabricate these high quality bins”.

Chief Duke also took the opportunity to extol the administration of Governor Sen. Prince Bassey Edet Otu, describing him as a unifier whose leadership has ushered in an economic renaissance in the state.

He lauded the Governor’s efforts in transforming the state’s narrative through developmental strides and a focus on improving infrastructure and economic opportunities.

“The facelift given to Cross River under Governor Otu’s leadership has not only enhanced its aesthetic appeal but also its economic vibrancy,” he remarked.

The collaborative synergy between the state government and the NDDC exemplifies a shared vision of sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Residents have been urged to embrace responsible waste disposal practices and support ongoing efforts to keep the state clean.

With the third batch of dumpsters now in place, the state is poised to tackle its refuse management challenges more effectively, reinforcing its reputation as one of Nigeria’s cleanest states. This intervention serves as a testament to the impact of proactive governance and collaborative efforts in addressing urban challenges.
