Date: 2017-10-26

The Kwara State House of Assembly has called on members of the National Assembly from the state, to push for the dredging of River Niger to check the devastating effects of flooding on communities, along the banks of River Niger in the state.

This is part of the resolutions of the House, following a motion moved by a member representing Patigi Constituency, Ahmed AbdulKadir.

AbdulKadir, had while moving the motion, narrated the ordeal of the victims of the annual flooding, and urged the Federal Government to resume work on the dredging of River Niger, which according to him, commenced, during the tenure of late President Umar Musa Yar ' Adua, to permanently address the problem.
