The Bauchi State office of the Independent Environmental Service Providers (BASISPA) has urged the state government to establish additional refuse dumps in public areas.
Alhaji Mustapha Suleiman, the chairman of the group, made the call on Friday in Bauchi, while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Suleiman said the city of Bauchi was growing faster and expanding by the day to assume a full cosmopolitan status.
“There was the need for additional incinerators to further enhance sanitary activities in public places,” he said.
While suggesting locations for dumps sites, Sulieman mentioned strategic locations within the town, especially motor parks, markets, government agencies, and other public places for proper sanitation.
“We are soliciting for government interventions like financial support on soft loans basis to enable us to improve our activities and expand them to the 20 local government areas,” he said.
According to him, there were 21 private independent refuse evacuation companies registered in 2014.
