Enugu community cries out to Gov Mbah as erosion cuts off only access road
The people of Agu Umabor community, in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State have sent a Save Our Soul message to Governor Peter Mbah.
This is following the devastating gully erosion which has cut off the community from the remaining parts of the state.
In a statement made available to journalists on Monday, signed by Abonyi Gilbert Emeka and Ogbu Christopher, the President and the Secretary General, respectively, of Agu Umabor Elites Group, they begged the governor to urgently intervene and save them from the harrowing experience of passing through the death trap.
“We wish to draw the attention of the Enugu State government and the general public to the deplorable condition of Agu Umabor-Eha-Alumona-Breme-Mbu-Ikem road in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State,” they said in the statement.
They recalled that they had earlier in the year appealed to the governor to come to their rescue as the road was about to be cut off completely by gully erosion.
“Agu Umabor people are law abiding citizens and have a population of about 100,000 people.
“We are predominantly farmers and this is the only road through which we bring out our farm and other agricultural produce.
“We are again appealing to the Enugu State Government and all public spirited individuals to come to our rescue as the road needs urgent attention and may not likely survive the remaining part of the rainy season,” they stated.
