Description

The unpaved road connecting Kenyase Abirem to the town of Broyedu has become a significant source of environmental pollution. The poor condition of the road generates excessive dust, which contaminates the surrounding environment and settles on homes and personal belongings of residents along the route. This situation has severely degraded air quality, posing serious health risks—particularly for individuals with respiratory conditions such as asthma. The onset of the harmattan season has further intensified the problem, making inhalation increasingly unsafe for affected residents.
