….Deputy Governor Decries Degradation of Environment

Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Retired Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John Jonah, has said that the constant degradation of the environment by man has become so alarming that there is urgent need to protect the environment in order to engender better living.

According to him, there is a massive onslaught on the environment arising from human activities and companies that have even led to the loss of many human lives.

Retired Admiral John Jonah stated this when the Publisher/Chief Executive Officer of Environment Outreach Magazine, Chief Noble Akenge ,presented an award titled, Distinguished Leadership Award on behalf of the Magazine to the Deputy Governor in his residence in Yenagoa.

The deputy governor also advocated the use of paper bags for shopping in the country which is biodegradable as it is the practice in advanced countries to protect the environment instead of nylon bags that destroy the environment.

He further noted that some of the environmental challenges confronting Nigeria today are traceable to inconsistent government policies and programmes, citing the perennial issue of flooding in the country as partly due to the dam built by Cameroon and the failure of Nigeria to construct a similar dam.

He also commended the Publisher/Chief Executive Officer of Environment Outreach Magazine , Chief Noble Akenge for his consistency in relentlessly propagating issues bordering on the environment over the years.

While presenting the award, Chief Noble Akenge, Publisher of the Magazine noted that the Distinguished Leadership Award was bestowed on the deputy governor as acknowledgement and recognition of his immense contributions towards the development of society.

Chief Akenge also said that the humble disposition of the deputy governor and his hardworking nature equally informed the decision by the Editorial Board of the Magazine to consider him for the award.
