A multi-million naira automated farm located at Agbobo Umuoga Ossomala community in Ogbaru area of Anambra has shut down operations due to flash flood disaster which affected the property
The disaster resulted in the death of more than 25, 000 birds at the poultry section and adversely affected potatoes farm, fish pond and other crops sections.
Dr Patrick Sule-Ugboma, Proprietor of Matuuci Farms Limited Agbobo Umuoga Ossomala in Ogbaru area of Anambra who took newsmen round the facility said about 400 staffers of the company have been directed to stop work.
Sule-Ugboma said his company has lost fortune due to the flood disaster that affected the farm sitting on 20 hectares of land.
According to Sule-Ugboma, the flood has equally affected some bridges on Onitsha-Ndoni road especially the bridge at Umunnakwo.
Sule-Ugboma noted that the collapse of bridges on Ogbaru-Ndoni road poses serious danger to residents and other road users travelling from Ogwuikpele to neighbouring communities who now resort to crossing the river by wooden boats.
He appealed Anambra State and the Federal governments to come to urgently come to the rescue of Ogbaru communities.
