Kwara Governor AbdulRazaq Visits Flood-Hit Bode Saadu, Sympathizes with Affected Residents

Date: 2024-09-20

As reported by Leadership, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Thursday visited Bode Saadu, the headquarters of Moro Local Government Area, to sympathize with residents affected by recent flooding caused by heavy downpours. The rains led to the overflow of the Arinun Bridge, which submerged many homes in the area.

Accompanied by the Commissioner for Special Duties, Hon. John Bello, and Special Adviser on Special Duties, Abdulrazaq Jiddah, the governor toured the affected areas to assess the extent of the damage firsthand.

Residents of Bode Saadu commended the governor for his visit, stating that it demonstrated his continued commitment to their welfare.

“We are here to commiserate with the people of Bode Saadu and make sure that everybody is okay and look at the causes of the flood.

“We have realised that with the major work going on with the dualisation of the Ilorin-Mokwa road by the Federal Ministry of Works, they have built a temporary bypass. Somehow, there are some challenges around the bypass, which experts will look into. That is the cause of the flooding. The director of Highway, Federal Ministry of Works and other experts are on their way here to find an immediate solution to the problem. We have also deployed the State Emergency Management Agency for some relief measures,” the governor said.

The governor also appealed to residents of the state to always steer clear of setbacks, adding: “One of the major challenges we have nationwide is people not observing setbacks. It is a major problem. Half of the buildings wouldn't have been affected if they had observed the right setbacks.

“We will intensify our efforts to ensure that people observe setbacks for the safety of all.”

John Bello, who hails from the axis of the state, commended the governor for the visit.
