Anambra seals hostels, churches, market over sanitation violations
The Anambra State Government has sealed several student hostels, business premises, churches and a market in Awka South Local Government Area for failing to comply with the state’s environmental sanitation regulations.
The state government had declared a state of emergency on environmental sanitation due to serious environmental degradation, particularly the blockage of waterways through the dumping of refuse and other materials into drainage channels.
As a result, it declared Saturday, July 4, 2026, as Environmental Sanitation Day across the state.
To facilitate the exercise, all communities and businesses were directed to observe a lockdown, while movement was restricted from 6 am to 11 am, except for those on essential duties.
