IZUNWANNE, a body of senior journalists from the southeast geo-political zone of Nigeria, has called for a quick government intervention to the plight of Amaeke in Ngwo, Enugu State.
The call became imperative to save the indigenes from being wiped off from the surface of the earth by the ravaging unrelenting erosion currently going on in the community.
A statement signed by the Coordinator, Abuchi Anueyiagu, expressed IZUNWANNE’s deep concern over the plight of the community, located in the Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State.
IZUNWANNE therefore called for quick government intervention to save the community from the osion.
A member of the organisation, Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, of the Police Service Commission had raised alarm over the issue, saying: “There is a disturbing rage of the gods as my Community, Amaeke in Ngwo, Enugu State, goes under a terrific and disastrous flooding. We are on our knees begging for a national/state emergency before the community is wiped out. Houses, agricultural products, business premises have been submerged in this unprecedented ecological disaster.”
Amaeke community, an industrial haven, hosts several high tech companies including the Ama Brewery plant, 7up bottling company, Coca Cola, Aqua Rapha, major financial institutions, Sharon Paints, aluminium companies etc including the legendary 9th Mile Corner – one of the centres of civilization in Nigeria.
The Community has written to both the government and the private sectors, seeking for intervention, without receiving any positive response.
