The Anambra State Government has assured residents that adequate measures have been put in place to mitigate against the impact of possible flood incidents during the 2026 rainy season.

Speaking at the event, the Chairman of Anambra East Local Government Area, Mr. Ifeanyi Chinweze and his OgbaruLGA counterpart, Mr. Kenneth Akwauobi, disclosed that their areas had commenced the desilting of drainage channels to improve water flow and reduce flooding.


They appealed to both the Federal and State Governments to provide the necessary logistics and support needed to effectively respond to flood emergencies and assist affected residents.


In her remarks, the Deputy Director of Administration, Anambra State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), Mrs. Ndidi Omega, advised residents of riverine communities to remain vigilant and be prepared to relocate to safer grounds whenever water levels begin to rise.


Also speaking, the Director-General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mrs. Zubaida Umar expressed confidence that the stakeholders' engagement in Awka would enhance preparedness, reduce the impact of recurrent flooding, and protect lives and livelihoods in line with President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.


 In attendance the  representatives of key agencies, including the Police, Army, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Fire Service, Ministry ofh Health, Red Cross Society, and mayors of riverine local government areas attended the engagement.
