The Imo State government through the Imo State Oil Producing Areas
Development Commission (ISOPADEC) has provided relief materials to the
people of Oguta.
This is to alleviate their immediate suffering and hardship following
the rampaging flood that submerged many houses and displaced many
people in riverine Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State.
Speaking to Channels Television at the ISOPADEC office after the
distribution of the relief materials, the acting Managing Director of
the commission, Kingsley Uju, said that the move was to provide
immediate succour to victims of the flood disaster.
According to him, the relief material is more of food items for their
immediate consumption pending the time the water goes down.
He said that the federal government would also intervene in helping the victims.
He, however, urged people living in the area to move to the upper
lands and also the camps built by the state government for flood
displaced people, located in Oguta and Ohaji Egbema, pending the time
the flood subsides.
