ONC Appeals for Urgent Flood Preparedness in Rivers’ Orashi Region

The Orashi National Congress (ONC) President, Ambassador Emeni Ibe, has urged Rivers State and local government authorities in the Orashi area to act now on the 2026 flood warning. Highlighting that over 30,000 communities nationwide face high flood risk, he stressed early measures—clearing drains, setting up evacuation centres, and stocking relief supplies—are vital to protect lives and property. He called on NEMA and state agencies to intensify public awareness and pre-position relief materials ahead of peak flooding. While praising the federal government’s commitment to emergency response, he warned that real impact depends on swift action at the grassroots level.
