A group, Auchi Leaders and Elders Forum (ALEF) of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has praised Governor Adams Oshiomhole for rebuilding the gully erosion site that ravaged the community.
The Auchi flood control project and two other erosion sites in Benin, the state capital, are being executed with a World Bank loan.
The group said the progress on the erosion site showed that the perennial Auchi flood would soon become history.
A communique at the end of the group’s meeting signed by its Chairman, Otunba Charlton Magaji, and Secretary, Alhaji Mohammmed Abubakar, said several houses had been saved in Auchi owing to the intervention of Oshiomhole.
It urged the governor to visit the General Hospital in Auchi to see its dilapidated infrastructure, obsolete equipment and non-existent drugs.
The group said the visit would enable the governor to save the hospital from decay.
The communique urged the governor to resolve the crisis in Estako Local Government Area by releasing the White Paper on the Nosa Osifo Report.
