Erosion Crisis in Ebenebe: Monarch Calls for Urgent Action
Erosion in the Ebenebe community of Anambra is severely impacting infrastructure, particularly the palace of HRM Igwe Christopher Nnaegbuna, which has become inaccessible by vehicle. The flooding has washed away most internal roads connecting the eight villages, including Umuogbuefi and Ogulube, creating hazardous conditions for residents.
The traditional ruler, who also serves as the deputy chair of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council, has appealed for immediate government intervention from state lawmakers, including Professor Lilian Orogbu and Senator Victor Umeh. He emphasized the need for the federal government to proceed with the dualization of Ofemili road to Ezeagu LGA, as previously approved, to enhance mobility and alleviate traffic congestion along the Enugu-Onitsha expressway.
The situation poses a risk to homes and livelihoods in the area, necessitating urgent action.
