Flooding: Kwara Issues Warning to Residents

Date: 2012-09-06

The Kwara State government has warned residents living on river banks across the state to move to higher plains due to the likelihood of flooding.

The state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mr Tunji Moronfoye, gave the advice on Monday in Ilorin while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

According to him, there is the need for those living on the banks of River Niger to vacate their homes to avoid impending flooding of the downstream section.

He said the warning became imperative in view of the recent flooding in some parts of the country, especially in Jimeta, Adamawa State.

The incident reportedly followed the release of water from a dam in Cameroon.

He said the recent publication issued by the management of Jebba Hydro Electric Plc indicated that the volume of water had increased significantly at the Jebba reservoir.

The commissioner assured residents that the state government was doing everything possible to ameliorate the situation.
