 Anambra to go after houses without proper drainage in order to combat Erosion  Worried by the rising menace of gully erosion, the Anambra State Government has threatened to enforce regulations requiring residents to provide proper drainage for storm water from their homes. The State Executive Council (ANSEC), which announced the proposed enforcement, lamented that erosion remains an existential challenge in Anambra, blaming the situation on careless actions by some communities and lapses by regulatory bodies in enforcing environmental laws. Briefing journalists after the weekly executive council meeting, the Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, said it had been observed that some residents channel storm water from their homes directly onto roads, where it accumulates and worsens the erosion crisis across the state. “ANSEC has resolved to step up enforcement to compel residents to properly channel and manage storm water from their houses.

 Edo Government: E-Governance Platform Managed by Unknown Non-State Actors


The Edo State Government has revealed that the state’s e-governance platform, introduced by former Governor Godwin Obaseki, is being operated by unidentified non-state actors or consultants.

Governor Monday Okpebholo made the announcement while directing an urgent review of the platform.


A statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Musa Umar Ikhilor, on November 25, 2024, explained that no official within Edo State’s public service has administrative control over the platform.


Ikhilor expressed concerns that the platform’s operation by external parties posed a significant data security risk, as it exposed the state’s governance system to the influence of non-state actors or consultants. He emphasized the need for an immediate review of the platform’s operations.


The statement clarified, "Reports circulating that the Senator Monday Okpebholo-led administration has shut down the e-governance platform initiated by the previous administration are false. However, it has come to our attention that the platform is being managed from the backend by unknown non-state actors, with no oversight or administrative control from any state official. This situation is a serious data security concern, placing the state’s entire governance structure at the mercy of these external parties. Therefore, a review is necessary."


To address the issue, Governor Okpebholo has ordered a comprehensive review of the e-governance platform to ensure that the Edo State government gains full administrative control and restores institutional memory, which is currently lacking.


While the review is ongoing, all staff and officials of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies are instructed to continue using the platform until further notice.


The statement also sought to clarify misinformation circulating on social media, asserting that the platform has not been shut down by the state government.
