 Imo Assembly Urges Uzodinma to Support Returnees from Orsu After Years in Exile


The Imo State House of Assembly has appealed to Governor Hope Uzodinma to provide urgent humanitarian assistance to residents of Orsu LGA who recently returned home after years of displacement caused by insecurity since 2020.


The call followed a motion by Uche Francis Agabige, representing Orsu constituency, who highlighted the devastation caused by the prolonged unrest, including loss of lives, destruction of property, and displacement of residents. He commended the governor for restoring security in the area, noting that police operations have resumed fully across the LGA.


Agabige urged the state to rehabilitate critical infrastructure such as roads, schools, health centres, and courts, while also calling for immediate distribution of relief materials including food, clothing, bedding, and medicine to help the returnees rebuild their lives.


Following deliberation, the House resolved to urge the governor to direct the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), and other relevant agencies to assist the affected communities. The clerk, Chinelo Emeghara, was instructed to forward the resolution to the governor.
