“The Governor regretted that areas that are natural water paths have been converted into places where houses are built thereby subjecting the areas to additional pressure.


“The Governor noted that the scale of the incident is clearly beyond what the State Government could handle effectively, assured that the State Government would package a definite and emergency request to the Federal Government through the Ecological Office in the Presidency which was established to deal with issues like this.”


Dr Ikpeazu according to Ememanka assured residents of Ovom street that there will be remedial actions in less than no time pending when the federal government will arrest the situation.

“Governor Okezie Ikpeazu advised the people living around the area to stay away completely from the area to avoid aggravating the situation there.


“Governor Ikpeazu was met at the site and taken round by the Member representing Aba Central State Constituency at the House of Assembly, Hon Sir Abraham Oba, the Honourable Commissioner for Environment, Barrister Sam Nwogu, a former Executive Chairman of Aba North LGA, Prince Ogbonna and some others.
