‎ Indiscriminate waste Disposal: Disease Outbreak Looms In Karu, Abuja

‎‎Those living around the Karu burial ground area in the Federal Capital Territory are at the risk of contracting communicable diseases as the people are constantly exposed to stench emitting from the dump site within the area.‎‎The dump site which is located along the Nyanya -Karu expressway is not only blocking the major road and causing nuisance but also threatening the well-being of the people.

For many years AIT_online has been reporting the danger of allowing this stinking and odor oozing dump site along the Nyanya -Karu expressway, a major road connecting Nyanya satellite town to Karu, Jikwoyi, Kurudu, Orozo and Karshi satellite town.‎‎It is an important road that is accessible to people living in many other communities along the Nyanya and Karu area.‎‎Despite the importance of the road, some portion of the expressway between Nyanya and Karu is gradually becoming an eyesore.‎‎ Business owners and residents of the area said they are no longer safe considering the offensive odor emitting from dump site.‎‎They are therefore calling on the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and the leadership of the Abuja satellite town Development unit to relocate the dump site from the midst of the people and their business environment.‎(Editor: Anoyoyo Ogiagboviogie)
