State Employment and Expenditure For Result Project (SEEFOR) on Thursday urged the Delta State Government to scale-up its intervention model on waste evacuation.
Mr Benson Ojoko, Project Coordinator of SEEFOR, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Asaba.
He added that during the intervention period, the project was able to create more jobs and generate more money in the state.
He said that the intervention model was successful and they worked with Delta State Waste Management Board alongside with the Ministry of Environment.
The coordinator added that Private Sector Participants (PSPs) were trained by consultants and there was improvement.
“At the end of the intervention period, they wrote to the State Government that the sharing formulae for funds generated should be 70 per cent for PSP.
“For Local Government Council, 20 per cent, then five per cent for billing consultant and five per cent for ministry and waste management board,’’ he said.
He advised the state not to deviate from what intervention model of SEEFOR had lain down and must allow the training took the shape they had put in place.
He said that SEEFOR would continue to give technical assistance to relevant agencies in the state.
Ojoko said that the project designed by SEEFOR had shown an alternative to government which had served its purposes.
