Bwari (Abuja), Sept.18, 2018 (NAN) The Chairman of Bwari Area Council, Mr Musa Dikko, has urged supervisory councillors of both Health and Environment Departments of the council to ensure proper sanitation around the Primary Health centre, Ushafa and Ushafa Pottery centre.
Dikko made the call while inspecting both centres on Tuesday in Abuja, after a storm on Monday night that left part of the rooftop of the centres destroyed.
The chairman asked both departments to ensure that they work together to make the environment a sight to behold and not “an eye sore .”
” This is supposed to be a health centre and it has all the grasses and the bushes around it like this; this can make patients to in-cure more sickness when they come for treatment.
” And what if tourists come to check the pottery centre and happen to come in for one medical assistance or any other thing and they happen to witness this unhygienic environment.
” It just shows we are not working or doing enough.
” Please, work together and ensure this is straightened out, ” the chairman said.
He also assured members of the community that the council would work round the clock to ensure their needs are met.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the council’s attention was call by members of the community, after some parts of the debris caused by the storm was left hanging on electric cables on the street.
However, the intervention by the council chairman and other members of the council led to prompt action by the officials of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC). (NAN)
