Members of the Holy Family Catholic Church, Marian Hill, Lokoja and the people living in the Community at the back of the Essential Drugs office in Zone 8, have sent a ‘save our soul’ to Kogi state government on the need to address the perennial erosion menace in the area.
They appealed for the intervention of the Commissioner for Environment to please help them find lasting solutions to the yearly erosion problems that do cut off the people of the Community from having access to their houses whenever it rains.
A cleric, Fr Augustine Okafor, who spoke with Kogi Reports said the people of the Community and the Church had previously put some measures in place as temporarily solutions to the erosion that had been their problems but it is currently getting worse.
He appealed to Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo for quick intervention as well as the construction of good roads and bridges across the river that is overflowing and creating the erosion problems in the area.
