The Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, has called on the Cross River State government to reintroduce sanitary inspectors to caution people against littering neighborhoods with waste.
This call was contained in a communiqué released on Friday at the end of its congress held at the state secretariat in Calabar.
They expressed happiness, however, at efforts by the state government to restore cleanliness but criticized the ongoing dumping of waste on major streets in Calabar.
They advised that such unrestrained dumping of waste defaces the aesthetics of the state capital, for instance.
“With the rainy season approaching, we recommend that the Calabar Urban Development Agency, CUDA, increase public awareness campaigns to dissuade people from unrestricted dumping of waste.
“We call on the authorities to reintroduce sanitary inspectors to address these issues.”
NUJ also expressed concerns over the rise in criminal activities in parts of the state capital, Calabar.
They, therefore, called for increased security surveillance in these locations.
