JAMB: Abia Govt Cancels April’s Environmental Sanitation Exercise

PRESS RELEASE

The Abia State Government wishes to inform the general public, especially residents across the state, that the monthly environmental sanitation exercise scheduled for Saturday, April 26, 2025, has been cancelled.

This decision is to enable candidates participating in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), to freely access their examination centers without restriction.

While the formal sanitation exercise will not hold this month, the State Government strongly encourages all residents to take personal responsibility in cleaning their homes, surroundings, gutters, and drainage systems closest to them. A clean and healthy environment remains a collective responsibility.

We remind the public that maintaining a clean environment is essential to promoting good health and preventing disease outbreaks.

The Government appreciates the understanding and cooperation of all Abians as we continue to prioritize both the health and environmental aspirations of our citizens.

Signed:
Philemon Asonye Ogbonna, FCA
Honourable Commissioner for Environment
Abia State Government
