Kwara State Government Urges Residents to Take Flood Alerts Seriously, Emphasizes Safety Measures
According to This Day news report, the Kwara State Government has called on residents to take seriously the various flood alerts, public enlightenment, and precautionary measures issued by the government and traditional institutions.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the Commissioner for Communication, Bola Olukoju, emphasized that various government agencies have conducted multiple public enlightenment campaigns aimed at raising awareness about flooding and how to mitigate its effects, particularly in flood-prone areas.
“More of such programmes are still ongoing, including through radio stations and community leaders. The government has desilted many drainages and water passages within the metropolis while discouraging actions that may compound the threats of climate crisis and rise in water levels,” she said.
“In riverine communities like Patigi and Edu and elsewhere, our royal fathers have continued to engage people in areas that are prone to flooding to relocate to places long allocated for the purpose. We appeal to our people to follow this important advisory as the government does its part of supporting them in various ways.”
The statement said the state government will continue to lend its voice to calls for the dredging of the River Niger which is the permanent solution to the perennial flooding in that axis.
