Anambra state government says it will be embarking on a post-flood rehabilitation exercise to cushion the effect of flooding on people displaced by floods in the state.
The deputy governor of the state, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim made the disclosure, Sunday, while addressing Christians at St Mark’s Anglican Church, Umuawulu in Awka south local government area, Anambra state.
He said, “We are planning our post-flood rehabilitation because those victims of flood disaster had means of livelihood and homes taken over and destroyed by water. The state government cannot leave them like that after the flooding. They will need somewhere to go to and something to go back to, or else they would suffer.”
He, however, expressed joy at the level of support the state government has gotten from spirited individuals and organizations who, he said, have contributed immensely to helping flood victims in the state.
Speaking further, the deputy governor urged the people of the state to endeavor to equip themselves with relevant skills that will be beneficial to the development of the state.
According to him, the state government is only interested in those that will add value to Anambra, instead of employing people that have no value and may not even fit into the goals of the state.
“The governor has promised more appointments, but we are not employing people to look for what they would do; rather, the governor only looks for those who are ready and who would add value to the state.
“If you watch, all the appointments in the state so far were based on the value proposition. We got people that are adding value in what they do and that is why the state is moving forward,” Ibezim concluded.
