Addressing the newly inducted environmental and safety professionals, Aguiyi congratulated them on attaining the professional milestone and urged them to uphold the highest standards of professionalism while serving as responsible environmental practitioners and ambassadors.
He highlighted some of the environmental challenges confronting Anambra State, stressing that the expertise and knowledge of environmental professionals would be critical to developing sustainable solutions, regardless of where they currently practise.
