Umeh begs Nigerian govt to declare Anambra Central ecological disaster zone as erosion swallows houses

Senator Victor Umeh, representing Anambra Central, has called on the Nigerian federal government to declare his district an ecological disaster zone due to severe erosion and flooding. Recent heavy rains caused the death of a six-year-old boy by drowning and led to the collapse of several houses in Awka. Umeh urged immediate federal intervention to halt the erosion and announced plans to update a pending Senate motion to include affected areas, emphasizing the urgent need for help.
