Sanitation: Zamfara records milestone, adopts new strategies

The Zamfara State Environmental Sanitation and Enforcement Agency (ZEPEA) plans to implement new strategic approaches for its monthly environmental sanitation exercises, following a notable increase in public compliance. The agency's chairman, Muhammad Zangina Abdullahi Yarin Gusau, represented by Permanent Member I, Alhaji Sani Muhammad Mayanci, announced the shift after the successful July sanitation drive in Gusau.

Abdullahi Yarin Gusau stated that the high level of compliance observed indicates that residents are increasingly aware of the importance of environmental cleanliness. This success has prompted the agency to consider new dimensions to further strengthen and sustain the sanitation program across the state. He commended the residents who adhered to the sanitation rules, acknowledging their cooperation as a key factor in the exercise's success.

The chairman also appealed to those who did not comply, emphasizing that the sanitation exercise is crucial for protecting public health, maintaining a clean environment, and preventing the spread of diseases. The agency aims to build on the recent improvements by introducing innovative strategies to ensure long-term effectiveness and widespread participation in maintaining a healthy environment for all residents.
