House of Reps Demands Urgent Erosion Action in Imo
The House of Representatives has urged the Federal and Imo State Governments to take immediate action to mitigate the impact of gully erosion, flooding, and road collapses affecting over 32 communities in the Ideato North and Ideato South Federal Constituency of Imo State. This resolution was prompted by a motion from Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere on Thursday, who emphasized the urgent need for intervention to prevent further loss of life and infrastructure damage.
The House called for emergency erosion-control, drainage, and road rehabilitation projects, particularly in areas like Urualla, Obodoukwu, and Umuobom. The situation has already led to fatalities, displacement of families, and restricted access to essential services.
Ugochinyere noted that previous resolutions from November 1, 2023, and June 26, 2025, had not resulted in effective action, and the erosion sites continue to expand. The House has directed relevant agencies to collaborate with the Imo State Government for immediate remedial works.
