Gully Erosion Threatens Over 100 Houses In Calabar Community.

No fewer than 100 houses in Ikot Effangha Mkpa Community Estate 2 in Calabar municipality are under threat of submerging due to the area.
The gully erosion site which have cut down one of the two main access roads into the estate, have also prevented resident in the areas from accessing their houses by vehicles as they now use a bush track to access their houses.

Worried by the threat, residents of the area have send a `Save Our Soul’ message to the Federal and state Ministries of Environment, Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project and the Niger Delta Development Commission.

This erosion site has become so bad that we don’t usually sleep at home in most occasion because of fear of collapse of our buildings, a resident said.. “I have decided to move major items in my house to another place for safety. “We appeal to the relevant government agencies to alleviate our plight by addressing this raven which is now a dead trap,” he said.
