The House of Representatives Committee on Ecological Funds has visited parts of Enugu State affected by flooding.
The communities include Amechi Idodo, Amauzam Amagunze, Ihuokpara and Nkerefi communities in Nkanu East LGA and Mpu, Okpanku, Oduma and Nenwe in Aninri Local Government Areas.
Assessing the impacts of the flooding at the weekend, the team led by the Chairman House Committee on Ecological Funds, Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji, explained that they decided to embark on the fact-finding visit to see things for themselves, assuring that substantial funds would be made available to address the situation.
“We have selected some states. Now, we have seen the level and magnitude of the flooding and other ecological issues that we are here to identify. “We are equally here to find a lasting solution to most of the ecological is sues that we have across the country.
“We have seen this place and we are heading to other places to see for ourselves. “Before we took over the leadership of this committee, there were so many things that went wrong and now we are trying to correct the public perceptions regarding the Ecological Fund.
“We want to make sure that this time, it will be completely different from the tradition of giving some piecemeal to the states to address the challenges.”
