Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has
appealed to the European Union (EU) Delegation Ambassador to the Federal
Republic of Nigeria and to the Economic Community of West African State
(ECOWAS), Michel Arrion, to bring intervention programmes to the state in the
areas of girl child education, flood and power.
The appeal
was made during the visit of the Ambassador to Anambra State, to seek out new
areas of collaboration with the state government, as well as find out how the
existing EU programmes in the state have been faring.
Governor
Obiano noted that already, EU intervention programmes were on in two Local
Government Areas and reported that they were thriving very well. He requested
for its extension to other Local Government Areas.
The
Ambassador on his part, announced the EU’s plan to undertake a five-year period
programme in the state.
Mr Arrion
also appealed to the state and the various communities where EU projects are
located to take ownership of them for sustainability.
The Governor had on
Wednesday mapped out 28 camps where Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)
will take refuge in the event of the impending flood announced by the
government.
