Residents of Calabar have decried the return of heaps of refuse in different parts of the city.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that refuse at various stages of decomposition now littered the capital city.
A cross-section of the people described the situation as unhealthy and a source of concern.
The respondents said that aside from the health implications, the refuse situation had also become an eyesore.
They further contended that it also defaced the aestethics of Calabar, hitherto popular for its cleanliness.
They said that refuse took over major streets and roads in the city for over two months before it was cleared, following public outcry.

Mr Pascal Bajie, who frowned at the situation, queried why the waste managers suddenly stopped work.
“This was exactly what happened a few months ago, when the city became an eyesore before they could do something.”
Also, Mr Daniel Onuaha regretted that the wastes were already spilling into the road.
Onuaha said, “In some areas, wastes encroached on the roads, limiting motorists and pedestrians to small space.
Mr Francis Etim said his fear was the possible outbreak of epidemic, given the poor condition in the residencial areas of Calabar South.
