The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), has introduced dedicated phone lines for residents to report uncollected refuse across Abuja, in a bid to improve sanitation and ensure timely waste disposal.
The initiative was announced on Tuesday by the Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka.
He said residents can report areas with uncleared waste by calling 08038643087, 07011073406, 07011255710 or 09114843425.
Olayinka also encouraged residents to send photographs or video clips via WhatsApp, noting that reports should include accurate location details to enable swift intervention.
According to him, the move is aimed at strengthening accountability among sanitation contractors and addressing waste management challenges in the Federal Capital Territory, while promoting a cleaner and healthier environment.
