The Enugu State Waste Management Authority (ESWAMA) has announced that this month’s statewide clean-up exercise will take place on Saturday, September 27, 2025, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
According to a public service announcement signed by Joshua Ozioko, Head of Public Relations, movement of people and vehicles during the exercise will be strictly prohibited, except for those on essential duties who must present valid identification or an ESWAMA official pass. Offenders, the statement warned, will be arrested and prosecuted at the environmental mobile court.
The agency further directed that all early morning sporting activities, loading and off-loading of passengers at motor parks, as well as other commercial operations across the state should be suspended within the period of the exercise.
ESWAMA also reiterated that enforcement against illegal disposal of refuse remains in force. Residents are reminded that dumping of refuse outside the approved hours of 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily, scavenging around waste dumps, and throwing dirt from moving vehicles or tricycles are punishable offences.
The Authority advised residents to promptly pay their ESWAMA sanitation rates to designated e-ticketing agents to avoid penalties.
The clean-up exercise is part of ongoing efforts to maintain a cleaner and healthier environment across Enugu State.
