Enough is enough!’ Though the refuse heap was later cleared, a business owner in the area, who did not identify himself, called for a receptacle to be provided to curb the indiscriminate dumping of refuse along the road, which she said was also affecting her business.
“When it rains now, you can’t stay here. The thing will be oozing and you can’t stay. Our children have been falling sick, even teachers. We have been working with the state waste management agency. Sometimes, the refuse will stay up to one or two weeks,” she added.All rights reserved.
