The
State House of Assembly has passed a resolution urging Governor Willie Obiano
to direct the Commissioner for Environment, Beautification and Ecology to take urgent
steps in reclaiming the erosion site at Ogwuishan, Ogwuaniocha in Ogbaru Local
Government Area.
The resolution was as a result of a motion for urgent public
importance sponsored by the Member representing Ogbaru Constituency Two Sir
Somtochukwu Udeze during yesterdays plenary in Awka.
Sponsoring the motion, Sir Somtochukwu
emphasized that if urgent steps are not taken to check the erosion, it would
cut the community from Anambra State and make the area impassable.
On his part, the Member representing Ogbaru
Constituency One, Sir Benson Nwawulu who regretted that Ogwuishan which is the
only motorable route that gives the people of Ihiala access to the area is on
the verge of total collapse urged the appropriate Ministry to come to their
rescue.
In his contribution, the Member representing
Nnewi South Constituency One, Mr Kingsley Iruba said the Ministry of
Environment, Beautification and Ecology should as a matter of urgency intervene
to ensure that the area which serves as the food basket of the State was not
cut off from the State by erosion.
In a separate speech, the Member representing
Onitsha North Constituency One Mr Chugbo Enwezor, spoke in favour of the
motion.
The Speaker pro-tempore, Chief Victor Okoye
who presided over the plenary read out the resolution of the House.
Supporting the motion for adjournment, the
Member representing Njikoka Constituency Two, Dr Pete Ibida felicitated with
the All Progressives Grand Alliance on the two council wards won by the party
in Kaduna State, attributing the success to the leadership qualities of the
party’s National Chairman, Chief Victor Ike-Oye.

East Constituency, Chief Obinna Emenaka commended the National Assembly for
