Port Harcourt is suffering the effects of severe air pollution that is causing black dust to come down from the sky. Residents are crying for intervention. We hope Gov Wike is not so embroiled with the EFCChe cannot handle this.

Do see their cries below:

Dear #portharcourt people,
If the soot is this much indoors, then the amount that is in contact with road side food is unimaginable
