Flood: Senate seeks FG intervention to save Bayelsa community from extinction By ignatius Okorocha,Abuja The Senate on Tuesday urged the Federal Government to urgently tackle erosion in Obogoro community, Bayelsa State, through shoreline protection. The resolution followed a motion titled “Urgent need to save Obogoro community from extinction” sponsored by Senator Benson Kombowei (APC Bayelsa Central). Presenting the motion, Kombowei said possession of land is essential for any community to preserve identity, livelihood, culture and communal life. He warned that Obogoro people “are in serious danger of losing their ancestral land and their communal life as a result of an aggressive erosion that has persisted for decades.” According to him, the erosion has caused loss of lives, property and livelihoods over the years. He listed recent losses to include about 300 people rendered homeless, public primary school buildings and field washed away, youth corps lodge and community playground destroyed, and several persons drowned. Kombowei said the community has persistently sought help from government, including petitions to the National Assembly and oil companies operating in the area, without solution. “The people of Obogoro community feel neglected and abandoned, and left to confront their life-threatening challenge,” he said. He noted that erosion worsens during annual floods when river levels rise and flow faster, eating up land and shrinking the homeland. Adopting the motion, the Senate called on the Federal Government to urgently provide shoreline protection to save Obogoro from extinction. It also urged the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to provide relief materials to victims of flooding and erosion in the community while asking the leadership of the Red Chamber to ensure compliance with the resolution by the government.
