The Abia State Government has announced the cancellation of the Monthly Environmental Sanitation Exercise scheduled to take place on Saturday, 29th August 2026, across the State.
According to the release authorised by the Honourable Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Philemon Asonye Ogbonna, all citizens and residents of the State are urged to continue to keep their homes, business premises, streets and immediate surroundings clean and healthy, despite the cancellation of the exercise.
The Government emphasises that environmental cleanliness is a collective responsibility and should not be observed only during the officially designated monthly sanitation exercise.
Residents are therefore encouraged to properly dispose of their waste, clear blocked drainage channels, maintain clean surroundings and desist from indiscriminate dumping of refuse.
The State Government appreciates the cooperation and support of *Ndi Abia* in its continued efforts to promote a clean, healthy and environmentally sustainable State.
