Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74204, member: 636"] Adamawa State officials went around Yola shutting down businesses that stayed open during the monthly cleanup time. They dumped out food from street vendors, killed cooking fires under bean cakes, and flipped tables where people were selling stuff. The state requires everyone to stay home and clean their areas on the last Saturday morning of each month between 7 am and 10 am, but compliance has been trash. The Environmental Ministry's permanent secretary, Syngana Dadah, said people just aren't feeling the cleanup vibe anymore, and way too many folks keep working during the lockdown hours. The committee hit up neighborhoods like Jambutu, Wauro Jabbe, Bachure, Jimeta By-pass, and Nasarawo to enforce the rules. Dr Umar Ibrahim from the state's Environmental Protection Agency thinks going door-to-door might get residents actually to participate next time. [/QUOTE]
