Anambra State Government will commence an immediate intervention and remedial measures on the gully erosion site on Nnobi axis of Nnobi-Nkpor Federal Highway
Governor Chukwuma Soludo made the promise when he visited the erosion site for an on-the-spot assessment.
While describing Anambra state as the erosion capital of the world, Governor Soludo called on the federal government and development partners to come to the aid of the state as spiraling erosion menace is beyond the capacity of the state government.
Governor Soludo said that Anambra State government is already working on the erosion site on the Onitsha-Owerri Expressway.
The Governor also called on Ndị Anambra to support the efforts of his government in erosion control across the state by engaging in healthy habits towards the environment.
He enumerated the positive habits to include digging of pits to serve as retainers for run-off waters within compounds, non-blockage of drainage systems, adding that communities have a major role to play to ensure compliance by individuals.
The Commissioner for Works, Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma, Transition Committee Chairman for Idemili South Council Area, Mrs. Amaka Obi, among others, embarked on the inspection visit with the Governor.
