A team of officers attached to the International Organization for Migration has visited the Awka Capital Territory Development Authority to seek collaboration with the Anambra State Government and the Authority in cushioning the effect of flood disaster that has continued to cause havoc in some Local Government Areas of the State.

 

Speaking during the visit, the spokesperson of the delegation, Miss Adelaide Umuhuzu commended the efforts and commitment she has noticed in the public service culture of Ndi Anambra, which she said is the reason the organization can easily assist the State.

 

She said that they are in Anambra State as it concerns flooding and how the organization can provide services on a medium and long-time scale.

 

Also speaking, a member of the team, Mr Hezekiah Samuel said that they will collect the data of the people involved in the flood menace, visit them and relate with them to know their needs.

Responding, the Managing Director of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority, Mr Ossy Onuko while welcoming the group, also briefed them on the history as well as the emergence of the Awka Capital Territory Development Authority which he said is in charge of regulating infrastructural development of the Awka Capital Territory.

 

He said that they are ready to collaborate with the organization and offer any assistance required to combat flooding and erosion bedeviling Anambra State and later led the team to the Authority’s Data lab where they were assisted with the Aerial Map of Anambra state to help them with data collation.
