Anambra State House of Assembly has passed a resolution calling on Governor Chukwuma Soludo to direct the Commissioners for Works and Infrastructure, Housing Managing Director Awka Capital Territory Development Agency and Chairman Anambra State Physical Planning Board to carry out a comprehensive check and monitoring of damp proofing in structures across the state. 


The Member representing Orumba South Constituency and the Chairman House Committee on Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Emma Nwafor, who moved the motion during plenary session, said that the move is aimed at curbing the alarming spread of mycotoxins in buildings, resulting from Moisture, Dampness, and Capillary (MDC) issues.


According to Engr. Nwafor, mycotoxins are products of fungi generated from MDC menace in buildings, and have contributed to about 50% of structural failures in Nigeria, including Anambra State, and causes up to 25% of diseases including lung cancer, impacting humans, livestock, and agricultural produce.


He expressed concern over the growing number of buildings in Anambra already showing signs of mycotoxin infestation, warning that failure to act could lead to serious consequences, including building collapse and health crises.


In their submissions, the Majority Leader of the House, Sir Ikenna Ofodeme and member representing Aguata Constituency II, Chief Tony Muobike supported the motion, describing it as timely and essential for sustainable infrastructure development .


In his remarks, the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Somtochukwu Udeze, commended the sponsor of the motion for raising an issue that affects the state and reaffirmed the House’s commitment to legislation that enhances public safety and infrastructure durability.
