Governor Dave Umahi has solicited financial intervention from the Federal Government to tackle the landslide which occurred at the retaining wall of Ogwuma section of the road from Iyere flyover in Afikpo South Local Government Area of the state.

“As you can see, a lot of houses have sprung up there and so this had to disturb the ecosystem of this section of the hill and the effect is what you see.

“The road has been blocked and it is going to take quite a lot of efforts to even unblock the road, before thinking about how to reconstruct very long section of retaining wall.“So, what my government is going to do first and foremost is to ask everybody on that hill to leave. “We have to take over the hill for people to continue to use this road, especially at this time we have solved the problem of the Iyere Bridge which hitherto posed a serious hindrance on the road.“I am sure in the next seven days, we should be able to deploy about five caterpillars, dozers and trucks to first of all, clear the road for us to see whether the slide is such that it could be contained.
