 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. Communities are also expected to comply with specific guidelines, including the construction of erosion barriers and excavating sand only in approved locations,” Mefor said.


The commissioner also disclosed that the government would set up a committee to recover government lands across the state. According to him, the decision followed reports of widespread encroachment, with individuals illegally building on government-owned land.
