The Mayor of Tubah Council, Tanjong Martin has been recognized for his outstanding services in the area of waste management, environmental protection, climate change and youth empowerment.
A jury consisting of Akere Muna as President, Senator Nfon Ekoko Mukete as Secretary and renowned Peace crusader Esther Omam as Member, saw the works of the Mayor of Tubah as outstanding, remarkable and applaudable.
Treated to a round of applause, Mayor Tanjong Martin has successfully managed waste in Tubah municipality, something which is a nightmare, nationwide.
"We have employed about 200 youths who go around sorting the waste into biodegradable and non-biodegradable. I can assure you that you cannot find waste littered on the streets of Tubah." Mayor Tanjong highlighted.
Non-biodegradable plastics, gotten from the waste have been used to create pavement blocks. These blocks which he says are more resistant, are used to pave roads within the Municipality.
Mayor Tanjong used the award to call on his colleague Mayoys to send their staff to Tubah to learn from them and the issue of waste management and disposal will be buried, once and for all.
Earlier in May, he was applauded for his brilliant skills in waste management by the Minister of Decentralisation and Local Development, Georges Elanga Obam in Kigali, Rwanda.
On mitigating climate change, the Tubah Council has planted no fewer than 7000 trees within the last one month.
Mayor Tanjong Martin is noted for being a development guru, whose efforts to beautify his Municipality through the construction of bridges, opening of New roads, supply of improved seedlings to farmers is a recurrent exercise.
