The Nnamdi Azikwe Hall health minister, Elisha Ajibola held
on Saturday a cleaning exercise in the Hall together with the Hall health committee
and volunteered Zikites.
Prior to the sanitation exercise, the Hall health committee
took to Zik’s WhatsApp groups to publicize the event, also the Hall IPM in the
early morning of Saturday announced the cleaning exercise, assuring volunteer Zikites of refreshments.
Elisha disclosed to Zik Press that the exercise was done in
conjunction with the cleaners and the porters and that it lasted for about four hours.
“We picked the surroundings by giving each participants a refuse bag and gloves which was sponsored by the The Hall Chairman and me, the Health Minister. We cleared the gutters in A block mostly and some in front of B block. We fixed the blockage that is causing water not to move to a large extent; We had to go to the other side of the fence close to Zik river. We burnt some dried plants and waste too which was driven by Porter Seyi. We had over 30 participants."
He also appreciated the efforts of the volunteer Zikites, Porters and others who were of help during the sanitation. “It was nice seeing passionate Zikites coming out to make sure that Zik Hall is clean. I will love to give a special appreciation to Porter Seyi for helping us from the beginning to the end and for being a drive, also the Hall Chairman, Uthman for his maximum participation and the morale support to everyone that came, the cleaners for their helping hands, Iya Elewa for sponsoring us with 2 bags of pure water and also New Flava for giving us some of their equipment. It gives me joy and makes me feel fulfilled and I will encourage Zikites that when next we're having this kind of event, they should come out more because we had low workforce. If not for that, we would have done more,"
