According to the statement by Ebiri, Governor Wike also allocated N1 billion to help flood victims in the state, particularly those in Ahoada West and the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local government areas (LGAs).

According to him, the move is “to enable vulnerable families, particularly in Ahoada West and Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGAs, which are the most impacted areas in the state, to cope with the devastating flood water which has inundated homes, farmlands and forced residents of affected communities to relocate to safer places”.

To ensure that the impacted people may get government action, a task team has been established.

The Taskforce will be led by Dr. George Nwaeke, Permanent Secretary, Special Services Bureau (SSB), in the Office of the Secretary to the Rivers State Government. Mrs. Inime I. Aguma will act as the Taskforce’s secretary.
