PHOTOS: After Daily Trust Report, Kano Begins Refuse Cleaning

Two days after a report was published by Daily Trust on the poor waste management in Kano, the ancient city has begun cleaning and clearing refuse sites.

Daily Trust had earlier reported that since Kano state government employed a private waste management group, Capegate, some 10 months ago, the city had moved to the top of the list of dirtiest states in the country.

• Foundation to empower 6,000 almajirai in Kano, others

It was gathered that several factors contributed to the poor development, but that most significant factor was the lack of legislation authorising the group to collect waste levies and tax.

But two days after the report, the state began its annual “Keep Kano Clean Weak”

Vans and cleaners have been seen around the city, clearing refuse sites and loading refuse for transportation and disposal.
