The Kano State government has procured 10 new heavy-duty refuse evacuation trucks and three excavators to enhance waste management and environmental sanitation.

This is contained in a statement by Gov. Abba Yusuf’s media aide, Sunusi Tofa, on Friday.

He reiterated his administration’s dedication to sustainable environmental practices, urging residents to support government efforts through a proper waste disposal culture.

“The new machines will be deployed immediately to key areas facing waste management challenges in the metropolitan local government areas,” he said.

Also, Dahir Hashim, the state Commissioner for Environment and Climate Change, emphasised the government’s commitment to ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment.

Mr Hashim noted that the new equipment would strengthen the state’s capacity to manage waste, reduce environmental pollution and mitigate the effects of climate change.
