In a decisive move to restore order and hygiene across the state capital, the Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency (DCTDA) has ramped up its environmental enforcement drive, sealing multiple properties in Asaba on the strength of a court order.
The operation, led by the agency’s Head of Environment, Mr. Isaac Nwosu, followed the successful procurement of a sealing warrant from a competent court. The legal action targeted individuals and businesses who blatantly ignored summons issued during the agency’s previous mobile court sittings.
Among those hit by the enforcement were a residential building on Isioma Welder Road, an aluminum and furniture workshop, a notorious scrap dump tagged “Scrap Dump 74,” a gas retail outlet, and an active construction site along Princes Ajudua Crescent.
Mr. Nwosu made it clear that the agency had run out of patience with repeat violators. “This action was unavoidable given the persistent disregard for environmental regulations and the failure of defaulters to present themselves before the court as lawfully required,” he stated. He reaffirmed the agency’s unwavering commitment to enforcing sanitation laws to safeguard public health and ensure a clean, livable capital territory.
Weighing in, the DCTDA Director General, Mr. Patrick Ukah, struck a stern tone, warning that the agency is fully determined to uphold environmental standards across Asaba. “We mean business,” Ukah declared, adding that any offender caught flouting the rules will face the full wrath of the law, without exception.
The agency has therefore issued a final call to all residents and business owners: strictly comply with environmental regulations, keep premises clean, and respond promptly to official summons, or face severe sanctions.
