Com Ogwuegbu, while on inspection of dumps in the area councils recently, told journalists that flooding mostly occurred as a result of blocked drains, building on waterways; dumping of refuse on road borders, in canals and on roads.

After the inspection, Com Ogwuegbu said, “Together we can stop and control flooding if only we can stop littering our environment and keep it clean and green.
