Immediate past sole administrator of the Rivers state Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA), Felix Obuah, has identified with victims of the flood disaster in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local government area.
He provided residential accommodation for 100 members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving in the area.
The NYSC local government inspector for Onelga, Stella Ejor, who stated this Thursday while speaking on Go-Round TV, said Obuah declared that the gesture is to get a place of accommodation for the corpers until the flood is over.
She said the corps members affected by the flood were those serving at Ndoni, Egbada, Egbema, Agah, Mgbede, Okwuzi, Obagi, Idu Ogba and Oboburu communities.
The inspector who said the corpers would be housed at Obuah’s hotel at Okposi, expressed fears that the surging flood was on its way to Akabuka community, adding that Obuah has directed that mattresses and beddings should be procured for the comfort of the corpers.
“There is also a place at the Low Cost Housing Estate where Obuah has also directed that other corps members should be camped,” she said.
