. Seeks urgent Fed intervention

ABUJA – The Senator representing Edo Central, Joseph Ikpea, has called for urgent federal intervention to address what he described as worsening ecological disaster threatening communities across Esan land.

Moving a motion on the floor of the Senate titled “Urgent Need for Immediate Federal Intervention to Address Escalating Ecological Degradation Across Esan Land in Edo Central Senatorial District,” Ikpea warned that unchecked erosion, flooding, and deforestation are already destroying livelihoods, infrastructure, and settlements.

He said that Esan land, which lies within a fragile ecological belt of rainforest and derived savanna, is naturally prone to erosion due to its terrain, but noted that human activities have significantly worsened the situation.
