By: Gloria Abutu

The Adamawa State Monthly Sanitation Committee has continued its efforts to promote healthy hygiene and environmental cleanliness across the state, with varying levels of compliance recorded during the January inspection exercise.

During a visit to Mayo-Belwa Local Government Area, the committee observed a high level of adherence to the sanitation order.

Shops were closed, and residents actively participated in cleaning activities, including clearing and burning bushes, tidying their surroundings, and cleaning out gutters.

The team made a stop at Sangere Bode in Yola North Local Government Area, where significant non-compliance was observed.

Residents carried on with their regular business activities, disregarding the directive to suspend operations for the sanitation exercise.

The team also inspected Cottage Hospital, Mayo-Belwa, to assess its hygiene standards, commending the efforts of the residents and local authorities in upholding cleanliness.

While welcoming the committee, the Member representing Mayo-Belwa constituency in the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Mahmud Musa Kallamu, expressed his commitment to ensuring continued compliance with the sanitation order.

He described the initiative as a commendable effort toward achieving a cleaner and healthier Adamawa.

Leader of the delegation and Commissioner of Women Affairs and Social Development, Mrs. Geoffrey Neido Kofulto, emphasized the importance of collective responsibility in maintaining a clean environment.

She called on all residents of Adamawa State to support the government by participating in the monthly sanitation exercise, highlighting its significance in fostering public health and environmental sustainability.

The monitoring team included Commissioners, Permanent Secretaries, Directors, agency representatives, environmental activists, and other stakeholders.

The mixed outcomes from the January exercise underscore the need for renewed commitment and awareness across all communities to achieve the goal of a clean and healthy environment for all.
