Senate asks FG to release ecological funds to tackle erosion, landslides in Cross River
The Senate has asked the federal government to release funds from the Ecological Fund to Cross River State to address erosion and landslides that have claimed several lives and displaced residents.
He urged the Senate to prevail on the federal government to approve, allocate and release adequate funding from the Ecological Fund for emergency stabilisation and comprehensive erosion-control measures, prioritising communities where lives have been lost and residents remain at immediate risk.
The senator also called on the Federal Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with the Cross River State Government and relevant agencies, to immediately assess high-risk locations and commence appropriate emergency protection works.
