1500 Still Homeless Three Months After

The population of Shell Crick in Idabato Sub Division in the Bakassi
Peninsular are still to get comfortable shelters following a fire
incident  that rocked their home last December 2014. They lamented to
the visiting South West Governor, Bernard Okalia Bilai when he stepped
on their soil last week. In their grief, they say three to four months
after nothing has been done about their plight.  They equally decried
how projects earmark for their locality is being implemented.

The Governor told them that the government is aware of their situation
and shall do something about it. He used the visit to express the Head
of State’s concern to the people, assuring them of better days ahead.
Security was also another concern in which  the Governor told the
people to denounce all suspected persons in their locality and to
collaborate with the forces of law and order.  “Report any strange
person in your locally to the security”, the Governor insisted. The
Bakassi visit gave Okalia Bilai the opportunity to access some
developmental projects such as the water project of Akwa in the Kombo
Abedimo Subdivision. It is worth mentioning that the government has
disbursed some 500 million for the projects in the area but nothing
visible has been done. To this, the Governor said severe
sanctions await contractors.
