Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Worried by the continuous ocean surge that has affected many communities in Ondo State, the Senate on Tuesday called on the federal government to, as a matter of urgency, set up a committee to rescue the affected communities.<\/p>\n

The resolution was sequel to the consideration of a motion titled \u201cAnother Cry to Rescue Ayetoro Community in Ondo State From Continuous Ocean Surge\u201d sponsored by Senator Nicholas Tofowomo (PDP Ondo South).<\/p>\n

The Senate urged the executive arm to include the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Ondo State Government, Nigeria Maritime, Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Consolidated Oil, Chevron Oil and Cavendish Oil as members of the committee.<\/p>\n

Coming under Order 42 and 52 of the Senate Standing Rules, Tofowomo recalled that on the 25th of November 2020, he had moved a motion drawing the attention of the Senate and the Federal Government to the plight of Ayetoro community, following an ocean disaster that destroyed 300 houses.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker said three resolutions were reached by the upper chamber, all of which were not executed.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cOn the 25th day of November 2020. I moved a motion on Ayetoro Community, Ondo State for suffering a severe Ocean disaster which has destroyed over 300 houses and swept away fishing tools making Ayetoro floating city a disaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree resolutions were made which are as follows; Urge the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and Ondo State Government to respond and assist victims in the community as well as develop a master plan that includes the building of ocean barriers to control flooding and ocean surge in the region;<\/p>\n

\u201cUrge the Nigerian Maritime, Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) to visit Ayetoro to ascertain the level of destruction in the community to proffer solutions to prevent future occurrence.<\/p>\n

\u201cUrge Oil Producing Companies to assist the community in re-building some of the infrastructure destroyed by the surge.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said \u201cMr. President, Distinguished Colleagues, I am very angry and disturbed that Ayetoro floating city has been abandoned since November 2020 and none of the resolutions was executed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question now is, who is going to assist the Community? I am now appealing to the federal government to please come to Ayetoro\u2019s rescue by setting up a rescue committee that will Include Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Ondo State Government, Nigeria Maritime, Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and the Oil companies within the region without delay.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
