Members Advocate For South East State And An Erosion Control Commission
A bill to establish the South East Erosion Control Commission in order to combat environmental degradation in the region was passed through first reading by the House of Representatives yesterday in plenary.
The proposed law, which is supported by Imo State’s Hon. Emeka Martins Chinedu, tackles the serious problem of erosion that the country’s southeast faces.
In order to address the serious erosion issues that have destroyed the area’s farms, residences, and infrastructure, comprehensive solutions are being developed and put into action by the proposed legislation.
As soon as it is formed, the commission will offer an institutional framework for efficiently managing and reducing erosion, safeguarding both the environment and the way of life for the impacted inhabitants.
The Ideato North/South Federal Constituency of Imo State politician, Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere,

The proposed law indicates that Orlu State’s establishment will amend the 1999 Constitution, bringing the total number of states in Nigeria to 37.
The new state will be carved out of Imo, Abia, and Anambra states, with Orlu as its capital city.
