Effort should be made to safeguard the reclaimed land so encroachers don’t take it over!

They could turn the areas recovered (esp’ the large expansive ones) into mini parks with planted carpet grass, flowers and trees, as well as a few benches to sit on!

Also, those ones with a steep drop need to have railings on their edges as well as signposts informing people of the danger! This is so people (esp’ kids) don’t trip and fall into the ravine and be swept away during a heavy thunderstorm!

you are just jealous that red mud is sign of fertility, it has gold, silver, beer, kerosene, and oyel inside it

Drainage in a particular layout and you reported it like the construction was done in the whole of Anambra

Is the "particular layout" not in Anambra State?

Concrete doesn't stop erosion. They make the land less fertile.

To stop erosion, ban tree cutting and plant more trees at erosion prone areas. Anything else is patch patch.

It's trees with concrete then several other things bro. Trees take years to grow and develop strong roots deep into the soil. Most of these erosions are already critical and chasing people away on a weekly basis. So you can't depend on trees alone. You need immediate solutions as well as long term solutions too

What you suggest is akin to running to shut the barn door after the horses have bolted! You’re suggestion is better suited for those places not yet affected by gully erosion, but which are still in danger of experiencing it if there’s no prior and adequate land management!

Tackling erosion problems in Anambra state

I think, I will prefer brown roof to this ooo, I now understand why they can leave������

Keep deceiving yourselves and running away from your problems

I am totally impressed by the drainage network.

Buhari has done very well for Anambra people.

SE and erosion matter sha.

But the mud red sha o.

The mud is Red here in Abuja.

SW is erosion, flood and earthquake prone area

Here we go again... a state in Nigeria is doing a lot to tackle erosion and flood - an issue that affects most states. Instead of us to appreciate the engineering (for instance the terraced gutter that cuts the velocity of water, or the young plants being grown to stem erosion), two people have started trading "my dick is bigger than yours" rubbish.

KraticKratus:

Tell that to developed countries, where they use concrete to stop erosion and control floods.

But you're right about tree-cutting. Erosion is being aggravated by lack of trees, and we should be encouraging more tree planting to stem it.

Most infrastructural developed state in in West, east and central Africa.

Obiano is still working

Anambra leads others follow

Again, Buhari has done well. This is part of a $400m World Bank project (Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project) with Federal Ministry of Finance as Implementing Agency - http://projects.worldbank.org/P164082/?lang=en&tab=details

Kudos to the World Bank, the Federal Government & Anambra Government:

PRESS RELEASE JUNE 27, 2018
Nigeria: World Bank Ramps Up Support for Human Capital, Governance, Energy, and Climate Change

WASHINGTON, June 27, 2018 — The World Bank approved today seven projects to support Nigeria’s investment in nutrition, access to electricity, states’ fiscal transparency, polio eradication, women’s economic empowerment, public finance and national statistics and reducing vulnerability to soil erosion.

“The Federal Government of Nigeria’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan identifies human capital investment, restoring growth, and building a competitive economy as its key pillars,” said Rachid Benmessaoud, World Bank Country Director for Nigeria. “This vision for a healthy, educated, productive and resilient population must be complimented by credible governance in order to attract private sector participation and ensure sustainable growth. The approved projects support the implementation of the Government’s growth plan.”

The World Bank Group (WBG) has extended its Country Partnership Strategy for Nigeria until June 30, 2019. During FY2018 and FY2019, the WBG support will focus on revenue diversification and mobilization, addressing the binding constraints for attracting private financing, and improving social services delivery for building the human capital needed for inclusive economic growth, in alignment with the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan.

The approved program of support in FY18 comprises the following projects:

The State Fiscal Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability Project will help increase efficiency in spending, strengthen revenue mobilization (of critical importance for the delivery of health, education, water and other services) and debt sustainability in participating states. Strengthened fiscal transparency will help build trust in government, enhance the monitoring of fiscal risks and facilitate accountability in public resource management. The project is financed through an International Development Association (IDA) credit of $750 million.

The Fiscal Governance and Institutions Project will improve the credibility of public finance and national statistics in the country. Fiscal governance is a key foundation for all other public-sector reforms. The project will help increase revenue and capital expenditure outturn, strengthen fiscal accountability including for expenditure effectiveness and to improve the quality of statistical information which would contribute to evidence-based policy making. This is financed through an IDA credit of $125 million.

The Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project will promote innovative, integrated approaches based on international best practices and community participation to tackle land degradation and major gully erosion formations in participating states. This project will support Nigeria in building its climate resilience and meeting her National Determined Contributions and will scale up the issuance of Green Bonds to leverage more financing for sustainable development. This is Additional Financing is an IDA credit of $400 million.

The Nigeria Electrification Project will leverage private sector investments in solar mini grids and standalone solar systems to provide electricity to 2.5 million people and 70,000 micro, small and medium enterprises. It will also provide publicly-funded reliable electricity to seven universities and two teaching hospitals. Further, the project will support the development of a sustainable framework for expanding electricity access in Nigeria over the long term. This is financed through an IDA credit of $350 million.

The Accelerating Nutrition Results in Nigeria Project will benefit over 8.7 million people, mostly pregnant and lactating women, adolescent girls and children below 5 years old. As the first dedicated large investment in Nigeria on nutrition-specific interventions and outcomes, the project will contribute to reducing chronic malnutrition, maternal and child mortality rates, improved school completion and performance, and consequently, enhanced labor force productivity and economic growth in Nigeria. The financing for this project consists of an IDA credit of $225 million and a Global Financing Facility grant of $7 million.

The Nigeria Polio Eradication Support Project will help improve immunization coverage with oral vaccines to the national target of 85 percent in 18 months. Improving routine immunization coverage is critical to improving child health and reducing infant mortality. This is Additional Financing is an IDA credit of $150 million.

The Nigeria for Women Project will directly impact 324,000 women beneficiaries through investments in comprehensive skills training, the leverage of financial and technical resources, and support to policy dialogue on women’s economic empowerment. This first World Bank-assisted standalone gender operation in Nigeria will also create and strengthen Women Affinity Groups to facilitate social networks and increase women’s voice and participation in the economy. This is financed through an IDA credit of $100 million.

Nice one
