Anambra Now Erosion Capital Of Nigeria, Says Soludo by ryloy: 12:24pm On Sep 22, 2022 |
The Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, on Wednesday, said erosion and other ecological threats are gnawing at 30 to 40 per cent of the state’s landmass. Soludo who described Anambra as the erosion capital of Nigeria called for a speedy intervention from the Federal Government and other development partners. The governor disclosed this to State House Correspondents after meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The former Central Bank Governor who argued that only an urgent intervention from the FG and other development partners can salvage the situation said his administration is introducing better environmental awareness among the people to limit the challenge. He said, “The environment is our number one existential threat, other than security, and Anambra is the erosion capital of Nigeria. “Perhaps, you might know that about 30% to 40% of our land is under threat of erosion, there’s no other state like Anambra when it comes to erosion. Even last week somewhere between Ezinhifite/Osumenyin Road was cut off again and several huge gullies everywhere; Obosi, Oko, Nanka, Aguolo, everywhere, there’s erosion menace. “As I said, while our landmass is shrinking massively due to erosion and so on, it’s far beyond the capacity of a state government to deal with. Even if you were to sink the entire budget of the state for the next ten years into dealing with the gully erosion in the state, it will still be like a drop in the ocean.” Soludo said the state government is poised to “partner effectively with the federal government” and other development partners to address the issue. “It is a state of emergency, with regards to erosion. And of course, we’re also promoting this concept of responsible citizenship on the part of our people, to be able to take some responsible steps. “We are providing some regulations; people controlling the runoff water from their homes, they don’t just pipe them and get them off on the streets. Of course, they must go somewhere, contain it within your place. Building controls; will designate drain versus buildable areas, and so on and so forth. “Then, of course, trying to tackle these things with early warning signals, and we’ll begin to tackle them. Clean up our drainages and make sure we channel runoff waters down to rivers and so on and so forth and not let them percolate on the road or try to go to unwanted places and so on and so forth,” he said. On the security of his state, Soludo argued that Anambra ranks among the five to ten most secure states in the country. https://punchng.com/anambra-now-erosion-capital-of-nigeria-says-soludo/ |

One of the many legacies of Peter Obi. I thought his zombiedient people said he left an indelible legacy behind in anambra? No wonder d niggi doesnt refer to his achievements in Anambra when he talks. All he knows is shouting China and Egypt upandan . Hes one of the most overrated presidential contestants I've ever seen.

What happened to Abia and Imo I think those State should seek multinational corporations on this issue. States where you see erosion site as lengthy as Cocoa House. |
Re: Anambra Now Erosion Capital Of Nigeria, Says Soludo by Nobody: 8:30am On Oct 26, 2022 |
This is why Igbos should grow up and stop playing politics of hate. Eko Atlantic was a solution devised by Tinubu to prevent the Sea's aggressive encroachment of Victoria Island. A real and long term solution for a very serious environmental problem. Obi offered no solution for erosion in Anambra during his tenure despite the fact it is a very serious problem. Perfect examples Igbos should shun tribalism and stop blindly and clannishly touting their own for leadership rather than backing the right leader because he/she is from an ethnic group they despise. 2 Likes |
