DSCTA Environmental task force removing illegal structures in the set back.
ASABA, Nigeria – The Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency (DSCTDA), in collaboration with the State Task Force on Environment, has ramped up enforcement against environmental violations across Asaba, targeting illegal structures and traders operating on road setbacks.
The operation, which began on May 4, has covered major areas including McDon Road, High Court Road (Event Centre axis), GRA Estate, the Cenotaph area, and DBS Road. Authorities evicted illegal traders and dismantled unauthorised and makeshift structures during the exercise.
As part of the effort, the agency’s Corporate Affairs team, led by Ms. Ngozi Peter, engaged residents, business owners, landlords, and commercial transport operators, sensitising them on the importance of maintaining a clean and orderly environment.
Mr. Isaac Nwosu, Head of Operations, supervised the exercise on behalf of the Director-General, Mr. Patrick Ukah. Nwosu reiterated the agency’s zero-tolerance stance on environmental infractions, warning that residential areas and business premises would be sealed and offenders prosecuted.
“The Director-General has made it clear that the agency will not relent until the capital territory is clean. Anyone found violating environmental regulations will be arrested and taken to court,” Nwosu stated.
The agency said the exercise will continue in the coming days as part of sustained efforts to ensure a cleaner, safer, and more organised capital territory. Residents and business operators have been advised to comply with environmental regulations to avoid sanctions.
