Anambra Commissioners Unite Against Environmental Degradation

In Anambra State, three commissioners—Arc Okei Ezeobi from the Commission for Works and Infrastructure, Barr Chijiok Ojukwu from the Commission for Urban Development, and Barr Clem Aguiyi from the Commission for Environment—are intensifying efforts to combat environmental degradation. They inspected flood and erosion-prone communities, including Ogidi and Onitsha, to assess damage and determine immediate intervention priorities.

During the joint inspection, Arc Okei Ezeobi announced the completion of the design phase for the second and third phases of the Ogidi flood control project, aimed at addressing persistent flooding issues. Barr Ojukwu expressed concerns about illegal constructions and waste disposal that exacerbate flooding, urging property owners to preserve drainage corridors.

Governor Chukwuma Soludo's vision emphasizes the development of clean and sustainable communities, while Barr Aguiyi identified human activities as significant contributors to environmental crises, stressing the need for community involvement in erosion control and environmental management.
