MAY 2021 MONTHLY CLEANUP EXERCISE (RIMI Market)

On Saturday May 29th MAMA Sanitation Ambassadors stormed Rimi Market (Kano City) to engage in the monthly cleanup exercise for May 2021 in Kano State, Nigeria.

We had 17 Volunteers from the organization while 6 joined form the community.

Quick Data:

  1. A total of 45 waste bags were collected
  2. We got good reception from the community
  3. There is need to provide a Waste collection center for the area as they had none available and only dumped their waste in the open.

Recommendation

Waste Collection Center be created and Waste Drums be provided to the community.

The overall goal of the project is to compliment the efforts of the Government in having an improve standard of living for communities in Kano through effectively waste management and ensuring a clean environment. As an organization we come to achieve this through;

  1. Joining and engaging community members in cleaning exercise at selected communities/locations
  2. Sensitizing the public on proper disposal of solid waste, control of wastewater and rainwater
  3. Sensitizing the public on proper hand hygiene and personal hygiene and
  4. By collaborating and partnering with relevant organizations if/when necessary.

Beneficiaries

It is expected that the project will in the long-term help change the orientation of individuals in the community towards keeping a clean, safe and healthy environment.

The Hon. Commissioner for Environment Kano State Dr. Kabiru Ibrahim Getso was also on ground with his team to include senior management staffs of REMASAB (Refuse Management and Sanitation Board) to inspect our activity.

International Workers’ Day

International Workers’ Day, also known as Workers’ Day, Labour Day in some countries and often referred to as May Day, is a celebration of labourers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labour movement which occurs every year on May Day (1 May), an ancient European spring festival.

The date was chosen by a pan-national organization of socialist and communist political parties to commemorate the Haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago on 4 May 1886. The 1904 Sixth Conference of the Second International, called on “all Social Democratic Party organisations and trade unions of all countries to demonstrate energetically on the First of May for the legal establishment of the 8-hour day, for the class demands of the proletariat, and for universal peace.”

The first of May is a national, public holiday in many countries across the world, in most cases as “Labour Day”, “International Workers’ Day” or some similar name – although some countries celebrate a Labour Day on other dates significant to them, such as the United States, which celebrates Labor Day on the first Monday of September.

Every 1st May, workers in Nigeria converge at the stadium to commemorate this public holiday. It is a recognized holiday all workers must observe. On this day the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress addresses workers and this has been a tradition for decades.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), held this year’s rally in Abuja on Monday April 29th, 2019 . The rally was to prepare their members for the commemoration of the 2019 edition of the workers’ day.

The members demanded the creation of decent jobs for youth in the country. They asked the government to step up efforts to eradicate unemployment. The deputy president NLC, Najeem Yasin, said the struggle is for human dignity and social justice for the union.

He lamented the poor situation of public school, security and the health sectors. “We are pained at the condition of public schools, the security and the health sectors in Nigeria,” he said. The unions said creation of decent jobs for the youth, will eradicate crime in the country.

The labour unions used the march as an opportunity to call government’s attention to the rising cases of near-collapse of social support institutions. They also asked employers of labour in the private and public sectors of the country to immediately begin the full implementation of the new national minimum wage.

He called on the government to rehabilitate the social sectors of the economy.
