He explained that opening the original waterways which is blocked by illegal activities of people in the area is one of government's efforts to help the citizenry, pointing out that flood has done a lot of damage to people. 

Engineer Okoma also added that Nwangene Stream which discharges natural warm water into the River Niger has been blocked by the negligent activities of people.

For his part, one of the members of the Task Force, Barrister Chike Maduekwe, said that the main purpose of the visit to the area is to ascertain the damage already done in the drainage system and proffer a solution.

According to him the drainage should be built in such a way that water will pass freely to River Niger and warned the staff of the Federal Inland Waterways to stop selling government land to people.

In an interview, Chairman of Biafra Market, Mr. Success Chiokwe and a trader in the market, Mr. Kelue Nnanyelugo, expressed delight over government's decision to clear the waterways and channel water to it's appropriately which will mark the end of their flood water trouble in the market.
