Flooding

Ogbaru Local Government Area,which includes communities like Akili Ozizor, Odekpe, and Atani, suffers yearly devastation from flooding due to its location along the River Niger. Each rainy season, overflowing waters submerge homes, schools, bridges, and farmlands, forcing residents to relocate to upland areas. The 2022 flood was particularly destructive, collapsing bridges, drowning residents, and destroying multi-million-naira investments, leaving the communities cut off and impoverished." [5] [6]
