The Anambra State House of Assembly summons key commissioners and government officials to respond to severe flooding affecting multiple communities in the state. Legislators cite persistent rainfall and rising water levels linked to the River Niger as drivers of the crisis, with floodwaters submerging homes, markets, farmlands, and business premises in flood-prone areas including Ogbaru, Idemili North, Oyi, and parts of Onitsha. Reports and circulating videos show residents wading through submerged streets, while some markets—such as Relief Market, Ochanja Market, and Building Materials Market Ogidi—are described as among the worst hit. Two deaths are feared at Building Materials Market, and a Toyota Venza is reported to have been swept away. Lawmakers also raise concerns about contributing factors such as blocked drainages and poor environmental practices. During a plenary session on Tuesday, the Assembly resolves to invite the Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Clem Aguiyi; the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Chijioke Ojukwu; and the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Okey Ezeobi, to appear on Thursday, June 25, 2026. The Assembly calls for measures such as improved channelisation of floodwaters, better refuse disposal, and flood catchment provisions, as residents continue to assess losses and displacement.
