The cross River State of Nigeria is noted nationwide as one of the nearest states of the Nigerian federation. Government after government have upheld this tenet in recent times.
However, the dying days of the Liyel Imoke's government witnessed a decline in refuse management. Heaps and heaps of refuse began to be seen even at close proximity to government residential areas and offices. Today, this unwholesome trend has not ceased even with the coming of the new government of Prof Ben Ayade. The question on the lips of many Cross Riverians is that what has gone wrong? What has happened to our once paradise city once adjudged to be the cleanest in Nigeria?
I will here recall that the practice of street sweeping was initiated in Cross river. The most conscious effort at environmental beautification was done by Cross River.
We call on the government therefore to make haste in the removal of these refuse denting the image of our once beautiful cities to bring back the glory of our once cherished environment.
