    “In this bid, relevant agencies of government will visit not just Koluama, but other communities that are affected by erosion, because the koluamasituation illustrates what our people and our communities have always been crying out about and other environmental degradation.”

    Also speaking, the Commissioner for Local Government Administration, Chief Mitema Obordor remarked that, council introduced a policy directing all local government council chairmen to henceforth, reside in their council headquarters to complement state government’s development efforts at the grassroots.
