Abia Lawmaker Calls For State Of Emergency As Erosion Sacks Constituents

Member representing Bende North state constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Nnamdi Ibekwe, has called for a declaration of state of emergency on erosion menace ravaging the constituency.

The lawmaker made the call while addressing newsmen in Umuahia over the latest erosion incident that rendered many locals homeless at Umuenyere, Alayi Community in Bende Local Government Area.

Hon. Ibekwe said there are over 100 active erosion sites in the constituency alone with about 20 posing existential threat to the people.

He identified Umuenyere Alayi, Oluibina Igbere, Ezi Igbere, Amekpu Item and Okafia as the epicenters of the menace.

ā€œOver five houses have been destroyed, farmlands the crops seriously affected; many people can no longer farm because their farm lands have been seriously ravagedā€, he added.

ā€œItā€™s an emergency situation because when people can no longer access their homes built with their life savings, itā€™s a disasterā€.

He also called on the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, and its state counterpart to quickly send relief materials to the affected constituents to help cushion the effects of the disaster.
