As Delta State still battle with the reality of Lassa fever, which has claimed hundreds of lives, there is the possibility that another deadly disease might hit the state.

The state capital, Asaba, is worst hit as dirt litters every nook and cranny, including water channels with no effort by the Senator (Dr) Ifeanyi Okowa-led government to savage the situation.

A drive round Asaba, Okpanam, Ibuza (Igbuzor) roads, Okwe and their adjoining streets are not left out of the looming health hazards that might soon hit the residents of these areas.

From Abraka to Igbuzor junction all through the popular Nnebisi road, waste are dumped carelessly by residents.

Text message sent to the Commissioner for Environment, John Nani, Chairman, SEEFOR, Benson Ojoko, Chairman, Screening Committee, Waste Managers who are into Private Sector Participants (PSP) who doubles as Oshimili South Local Government Area, Barr.  Chuks Obusom and Chairman, Waste Management Board, Douglas Okolotu, were not replied.

It would be recall that since the state government took over the task of cleaning the state from the World Bank, it has been from one story to the other.

Also, efforts to get the chairman of waste managers in the state and owner of Mc. P Ventures, a PSP, Mr. Mosindi Celestine was unsuccessful.
