According to him, ‘it’s noteworthy that Governor Soludo had also set up a committee headed by the Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr Foster Ihejiofor to look into the crises in Isuaniocha and come up with recommendations that will enable government resolve the matter.

Mr Ifeanyi Ozodigwe, another resident, also expressed relief that the Ihejiofor led Committee had since completed their assignment and report submitted to the governor.
