He encouraged them to remain strong and called on good spirited individuals to also support the displaced persons.

Mr Ucheze inspected the level of damage caused by the flood and assured to report back for strategic and timely interventions.

An Awka North stakeholder, Chief Lawrence Onwuzuka and APGA Candidate for Awka North constituency for Anambra State House of Assembly in the forthcoming general election, Chief Chimezie Ikwunne who were part of the visit harped on the need for federal government to proffer a lasting solution to the flood disaster in order to prevent future occurrence.

While regretting the lives, property and farmlands lost, they commended Governor Soludo for being proactive in responding to the ugly situation.
