The state government needs to step up and help people in Orsu who have had to flee their homes because of the violence and insecurity that have plagued the area since 2020. The State Assembly is calling on Governor Hope Uzodinma to make it happen.
Uche Francis Agabige, who represents Orsu, laid it all out. He said if the governor hadn't intervened, Orsu would've been totally wiped off the map. The chaos led to deaths, destruction of property, and security forces abandoning the area, forcing residents to run for their lives.
Police have managed to reestablish their presence in Orsu, which is a good sign that things are starting to return to normal. But the people coming back have lost everything and need serious assistance to get back on their feet.
Agabige is urging the government to provide essentials like food, bedding, clothing, and medical supplies so people can start rebuilding their lives. Critical infrastructure like health centers, schools, markets, and courts also need to be restored.
The House unanimously agreed to push the governor to mobilize the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, NDDC, and other agencies to deliver much-needed relief to the beleaguered residents of Orsu. They want the governor to prioritize fixing up key facilities in the area to support the returning population.
