Post created on 4:53 pm

Comrade Weyinmi Isaac Agbateyiniro, Chairman of Warri South Local Government Area, has cautioned property developers in the upland and riverine areas of Warri South to steer clear of natural water channels.

Comr. Agbateyiniro, in a statement issued Thursday September 12, frowned at the manner in which some persons build residential houses, shops and other business structures on water channels.

The Warri South Local Government Boss, said his administration will not tolerate situations where shop owners erect makeshift structures on the top of drainages.

He challenged community and opinion leaders as well as heads of faith-based organisations, to partner his administration in the resolve to reorientate the minds of residents of Warri, to ensure cleaner environment and prevent flood disaster in the city.

Comrade Agbateyiniro, stated that the need for people of Warri South Local Government to be complaint with ongoing efforts by the state government and his administration on cleanliness and beautification, cannot be overemphasized.
