Summary

The Federal Government is responding to an ecological crisis in Calabar, Cross River State, triggered by the failure of the Channel 2 underground drainage system along Anansa Road. The crisis has caused environmental destruction, infrastructure damage, economic disruption, and loss of life. Key strategic national assets at risk include the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) Victory installation and an NNPC jetty supporting the country's energy infrastructure. The Ecological Project Office (EPO) is leading the intervention in collaboration with the Cross River State Ministry of Environment, conducting a joint technical assessment to determine causes and identify sustainable solutions. The response aims to combine infrastructure repairs with measures to restore livelihoods and support socio-economic recovery for affected communities.
