The optometrist was given the title, Bazhim Gbagvinu 1 (woman commander) of Galadimawa by the District head, Alhaji Musa Barde, at a colourful ceremony attended by a large segment of the community.
Until she donated the N1.6m roll bin, residents dumped their waste by the road that leads to the community and were at risk of disease outbreak.
Before the bin was inaugurated, Onuoha visited the district head and explained her plan to assist his people to manage their waste in a more responsible and environmentally-sustainable way.
She also went round the community and spoke to the residents about the need to keep their environment clean and dispose their litter in a proper way.
Speaking Dr. Onuoha said she was motivated to take action by the unsanitary condition of the area, having observed the poor manner the residents disposed their waste.
“I discovered that the community didn’t have a proper waste management system; residents simply dumped waste at a spot by the road and this is the fastest way to provoke an epidemic,” Onuoha said.
The ‘woman commander of Galadimawa’ said she saw the title as a responsibility to do more for the people, adding that her future plan was to set up a non-governmental organisation through which she could touch lives.
Onuoha also distributed 50 pieces of clothes to widows as well as five mosquito nets and 150 exercise books to pupils of LEA Primary School, Galadimawa.
