Laurence Chidi Anukam, NESREA Director General<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) has read the riot act to tannery operators in Kano State, warning them to desist from degrading the environment or face full wrath of the law.<\/p>\n

The Director General of the agency, Dr. Lawrence Chidi Anukam, sounded the warning while addressing facility owners at the main Hall of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) in Kano. <\/p>\n

Describing Kano as a strategic industrial hub,\u00a0he expressed regret that the operators have abused\u00a0 the facility and used it as a hot spot for environmental degradation.<\/p>\n

Anukam also said, \u201c it was rather disturbing and unfortunate that the environment is being seriously impacted as a result of their reckless attitude and disregard for environmental laws and regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a lot easier to destroy than to build. This cannot continue; we would not let one industry or the other pull down what we consider our common heritage\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

To him, it is disheartening and a pointer to complete disregard for human lives, a situation whereby despite repeated visits by Agency officials, facility owners still refuse to comply.\u201d
\n\u00a0
\n\u201cWhere you refuse to do the right thing, the rules will automatically apply; we cannot fold our hands and watch. This is totally unacceptable. We are not interested in sanctions, but if we are forced to, then we shall wield the big stick\u201d, he warned. <\/p>\n

He told the facility operators that the deluge of complaints and the steady flow of negative reports about their actions\u00a0had necessitated second meeting, charging them that \u201cnobody is above the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to run your industry in such a way that your activities will have minimum negative impact on the environment or none at all.\u00a0 In the\u00a0first meeting held few years ago, the Industrialists had agreed to treat their effluent at\u00a0 least to primary levels before discharge into the public drain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because of the economic value of Kano city and the importance of human lives, Dr Anukam called for the procurement and installation of Anti-pollution equipment with immediate effect. <\/p>\n

He called on the Kano Chapter of MAN to initiate some form of Training\/Capacity building to educate facility owners on best environmental practices and also advised them to utilize the pool of accredited environmental consultants where it concerns environmental safety.\u00a0
\nEarlier, the Director-General and his team had conducted an on-the-spot inspection of some facilities in Sharada, Bompai and Challawa areas, where erring facility operators were instantly queried on reckless operations.<\/p>\n
