Governor Willie Obiano seeks end to flooding in Ogbaru/Okpoko and environs, visits Sakamori water canal.

In line with his administration's commitment to ensuring a clean ,healthy and safe Anambra, Governor Willie Obiano today visited the sakamori water canal where he inspected the construction of a concrete retaining wall at the confluence of the Idemili/Sakamori Rivers and the dredging of the rivers to ensure free flow of water all the way into the River Niger.

The sakamori canal collects most of the surface water from Okpoko and environs which it deposits into Idemili River. The river is a tributary to River Niger.

This drainage design appears perfect but the area continues to experience severe flooding.

As a result Gov Obiano tasked a team of experts led by the Commissioner for Works, Engr. Marcel Ifejiofor to study the drainage systems and profer solutions to the flooding menace in the area.

The team discovered that the Sakamori canal empties into the the Idemili river at a sharp 90° angle. It also discovered that the river moves at a current faster than the water from the canal. This causes a back-surge of water and causes the canal to overflow into the streets resulting in the flooding of the surrounding environment.

The Governor awarded a contract to redesign the canal for a better and smoother flow of water at possibly a 45° angle. The contract also involves the building of a retainer wall to forestall overflowing of the canal. Silt will be removed from the canal and the Idemili river will also be dredged for about 6.5km upto to the River Niger.

This will ensure a smooth flow of water through Sakamori canal to Idemili River and further into the great River Niger.

The end of flooding in some parts of Onitsha, Okpoko and indeed Ogbaru LGA is in sight. Thanks to the people-oriented leadership of Gov Willie Obiano.

The Governor has a small handy public address system. You can't be talking to people and be shouting.
Life is easy dear.
