The governor said the advice was sequel to the warning by the Nigerian Hydrological Services that communities and states on the banks of the River Niger and River Benue would be affected by sustained heavy rains expected this month.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, C-Don Adinuba, on Thursday, read in part, “The communities in the following local government areas will be affected in particular: Anambra West, Anambra East, Onitsha South, Onitsha North, Ogbaru, Ihiala, Ayamelum and Awka North.
“The Anambra State Government is providing holding centres where the affected people will stay until the floods recede. “These centres will be provided with clean water, mattresses, bed sheets, blankets, mosquito nets, buckets and all necessary sanitary facilities. “Security agents drawn from the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Navy, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the Anambra State Vigilante Group will ensure excellent security.”All rights reserved.
