Mr. Ozoemena appealed to ndi Anambra not to play with fire especially during this dry harmattan season, stating that they should dispose waste property since Anambra State government had made waste disposal easy.

that residents had no reason to burn waste, noting that the agency continually carries out enlightenment Programmes to educate people on proper refuse disposal in order to curb Indiscriminate dumping of refuse.
