Students of the Metallurgical Training Institute, Onitsha, Anambra State, have begun peaceful demonstrations in large numbers over flooding
During the peaceful demonstration around the community, some students of the institution were observed by our correspondent scooping water out of their various rooms from their hostels, while others were also trying to salvage some of their properties, like laptops, phones, clothing and beds from the flood.
“Our properties are damaged. The flood suddenly submerged our beds and we have remained awake every night. This flood has subjected us all to pain. Other students whose valuables are inside have abandoned them because there is no way in and the rainwater has filled the whole place.” Ugochukwu noted that the state government channelled waters that come from the environs down to the school, without providing adequate measures for enough drainage.
