They appealed to all relevant government agencies including oil companies, DESOPADEC, NDDC etc, to come to their aid before they go out of existence as a result of the unbearable condition they have found themselves.
Egbema people also called on the governor of Delta State, Senator (Dr) Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa to visit the area to see things for himself, explaining that their community has many flow stations and oil installations which include Opuama flow station, Opuekeba oil field, Dibi field, Dabiotubu field and lots of others in Egbema.
