The Anambra State Commissioner for Environment, Dr Clem Aguiyi has embarked on a facility tour of the Nnamdi Azikiwe NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Umuawulu/Mbaukwu in Awka South Local Government Area to assess the level of threat of erosion and flood in the camp.
Speaking to the ABS immediately after being conducted round the facility by the Anambra State Coordinator of National Youth Service Corps, Mrs Pauline Ojesua, Dr Aguiyi said the visit was to give the ministry clear understanding of the challenges and to help develop a short-term palliative and long-term solution to the challenge.
The Environment Commissioner commended the management of the camp for calling the attention of the state government to the site before it became a disaster and for efforts they have made to manage the flow of storm water and other fllood control measures they have made.
Dr Aguiyi pledged that the state government will help with further control work, landscaping and standardized catchment pit to save the camp from future erosion devastation.
On her part, the NYSC State Coordinator, Mrs Ojesua thanked Governor Chukwuma Soludo for always prioritizing the needs of the camp and corps members in the state, praising Anambra as great hosts.
She said, baring any quick intervention, the camp will give to erosion which has become a major challenge to the management and corps members living in the camp.
