Following the flood that has wrecked havoc to many local government
Areas and Communities in Anambra State, an indigene of Anambra West,
Mr. Michael Nwofia has distributed food items and money to the people
of the local government area displaced by this year’s flood.
The distribution was done on top of Iyiora-Anam Bridge, which is the
only dry land available in the area.
Speaking to the displaced people, Chief Nwofia whose house at
Iyiora-Anam was totally submerged by the flood said that he was
disturbed by the level of havoc wrecked by the flood which has
rendered the people homeless and helpless, without any sign of hope
from anybody.
Chief Nwofia who said that government alone cannot bear the burden,
further explained that the flood has caused serious hunger in the area
and equally wasted many crops and property.
He explained that he decided to give the people money and food items to
help cushion the effects of the hunger caused by the flood menace and
urged government at different levels to come to the aid of the people.
In their various speeches, Chief Udoba-Agbata from Iyiora-Anam and
Okechukwu Ateli from Umuoba-Anam commended Chief Nwofia for his kind
gesture and prayed God to bless him abundantly.
Distribution of the food items, money and songs of joy by the people
made the event a memorable one.
