Rivers Assembly hails court’s judgement, urges FG to Include state in flood response plan
Four days after their victory at the Federal High Court, the Martin Amaewhule-led Rivers State House of Assembly convened its plenary session on Monday, expressing significant concern over the looming threat of flooding and its potential impact on residents.
During the session, lawmakers voiced their apprehensions and urged the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and other relevant government bodies to include Rivers in their flood response strategies.
This appeal followed a motion introduced by Deputy Speaker Dumle Maol, who highlighted that the anticipated flood is linked to the Republic of Cameroon’s planned regulated release of water from the Lagdo Dam.
The motion received unanimous support from the assembly, underscoring the importance of informing constituents about the impending flood.
Speaker Amaewhule lauded the motion’s intentions and mandated a joint committee to collaborate with NEMA, NDDC, and other government agencies to prepare for the disaster and provide aid to potential flood victims.
The joint committee, comprising the House Committee on Environment and House Committee on Emergency Relief, was expected to submit its report within a week.
Speaker Amaewhule congratulated assembly members on their recent victory at the Federal High Court and expressed confidence that the law would continue to favour them despite opposition.
