Lawmaker seeks FG’s intervention in Etsako constituency erosion
Rep. Dekeri Anamero (APC-Edo), representing the Etsako Federal Constituency, has urged the federal government to address the gully erosion ravaging the constituency.
Mr Anamero made the call on Monday during an assessment visit to the Jattu-Fugar-Agenebode road cut off by gully erosion.
He said the erosion had cut off Etsako West Local Government from Etsako Central and East Local Government Area, which are part of the constituency.
Mr Anamero described the situation as worrisome, calling for urgent action by the government.
“All I can appeal for is to exercise little patience; I want to assure you as your representative, that I will not stop until succour is brought to the people of Etsako Federal Constituency,” Mr Anamero said.
The lawmaker disclosed that officials from the ecological agency had visited the site and called on the government and relevant authorities to expedite action on the fixing of the road and other gully sites in the constituency.
“I want to use this medium to call on the Federal Government to pay attention to the plight of my people towards addressing the menace of gully erosion threatening my constituency,” he started.
