Chinye who noted that the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown slowed down the board’s activities in 2020 said it was time to strengthen waste management in the state.
He said: “The board will embark on an enforcement programme as well as shut down all illegal dump sites across the state within the next two weeks.
“The PSPs should also be up and about in their task of regular evacuation of refuse.
“The board will not hesitate to revoke the license of any PSP found wanting.”
Some of the areas visited in the three senatorial districts are Ughelli, Warri, Uvwie, Sapele and Ika Pilot Zones.
