Ankpa LGA: Hon. Ahmed Mohammed call on the State Govt. to come to the aid of Ejinýa-Efofè Community

Wednesday 19th December, 2018
From the Kogi State House of Assembly,

MATTER OF URGENT PUBLIC IMPORTANCE CALLING ON THE STATE TO COME TO THE AID OF THE PEOPLE OF EJINYA-EFOFE IN ANKPA LGA OVER GULLY EROSION MENACE

The Rt. Honourable speaker, Distinguish colleagues, over the years, the people of Ankpa 1 constituency has been badly threatened by Erosion Menace. This problem has affected agricultural productivity as our farms lands and crops have been washed away. Our houses, schools; places of worships, etc are all in serious threats. In fact, the greatest threat to the environmental setting of Ankpa LGA is the gradual but constant dissection of the landscape by gully erosion. The gully erosion at Ejinya-Efofe is so big that it can swallow an entire building. It has cut the major road that link to Ejinya-Abakpa, and other neighbouring communities. People find it difficult to visit other communities. We have more than 50 erosion sites in Ankpa LGA and these pose serious threats to lives and properties of the people living in these communities concerned.

As a Local government, we cannot handle these challenges alone and still carry on with other responsibilities.

PRAYERS
Be it resolved by this honourable house as follows;

1.)  That the state government immediately mobilize State Emergency Management Agency, and Kogi State Road Maintenance Agency  KOGROMA to Ejinya-Efofe to prevent this disaster.

2.)  That the House mandate a committee to carry out an On-the-spot assessment to see the level of this threat to the community.

I so moved

Dated: 19th of December, 2018

Hon. Ahmed Mohammed
Ankpa 1 constituency
