The Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency (DSCTDA) has sustained its environmental cleanup exercise at the Koka Roundabout, with the Agency’s Head of Environment, Mr. Isaac Nwosu, leading his team to intensify the evacuation of sand, debris, and indiscriminately dumped waste from the road median and adjoining areas.
The ongoing operation forms part of the Agency’s broader intervention to restore environmental sanity, enhance visibility, and ensure safer movement for motorists and pedestrians along the busy gateway into the state capital.
Mr. Nwosu, who supervised the exercise alongside members of the Environment Unit, explained that the sustained cleanup became imperative following the heavy buildup of sand and refuse along the median, which had begun to undermine both the aesthetic appeal and safety of the corridor.
He reaffirmed that the Environment Unit remains fully committed to its mandate of maintaining high environmental sanitation standards across critical locations within the capital territory.
In his remarks, the Director-General of the Agency, Mr. Patrick Ukah, reiterated DSCTDA’s resolve to keep Asaba clean, orderly, and befitting of its status as a state capital.
Mr. Ukah commended the Environment Unit for its diligence and consistency, noting that the continued intervention at Koka Roundabout underscores the Agency’s proactive approach to environmental management and urban renewal.
He further urged residents and road users to support government efforts by refraining from indiscriminate waste disposal and by embracing responsible environmental practices.
The cleanup exercise is expected to continue until the entire Koka Roundabout corridor is fully cleared and restored.
