Anambra Government on Friday says it has spent N1.58 billion on waste disposal between January and October, 2021.<\/p>\n

Dr Emmanuel Okafor, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Environment, made the disclosure during the 2021 budget assessment and 2022 budget defense, before the State House of Assembly Committee on Finance and Appropriation.<\/p>\n

Okafor said in Awka that N3.8 million was also spent on erosion control across the state.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe ministry\u2019s budget for year 2021 was N2.166 billion and so far we carried out two major projects, waste disposal, where we have spent N1.58 billion and in erosion control, we spent N 3.8 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also carried out routine monitoring of the five forest reserves in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could not carry out all our proposed projects due to lack of funds. We only made do with the funds released to the ministry within the period.\u201d<\/p>\n

The other agencies under the ministry lamented non-release of funds allocated to their agencies to carry out projects.<\/p>\n

Mr Chido Obidiegwu, Managing Director, Clear Drainage and Forest Preservation Agency, said that no fund was released to the agency out of the N255 million allocated in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were supposed to carry out desilting of canals, clearing of drains to control flood, recruitment<\/a> and equipping of more forest guards to protect our forest reserves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wrote lots of proposals to get funds but nothing was released to the agency in 2021,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Also speaking, Mr Amaechi Akaora, Managing Director, Anambra State Waste Management Authority, said the agency was able to access N64.5 million out of N305 million allocated to it.<\/p>\n

The Managing Director of the state\u2019s Leisure Parks and Street Beautification Agency, Mrs Ify Atogu, also complained that the agency got N1.5 million out of N300 million budget allocation in 2021.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Mr Lawrence Ezeudu representing Dunukofia Constituency and Chairman, House Committee on Environment decried the 26 per cent budget performance of the ministry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ministry of Environment is one of the key ministries that should be given serious attention in terms of funds, considering that our state is a flood and erosion prone area.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the 2022 budget, we will carry out our legislative functions and recommend adequate release of funds to ensure a better budget performance,\u201d Ezeudu said.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Ministry of Environment got N3.42 billion in the 2022 budget proposal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
