Kwara State Government Implements Measures to Alleviate Flooding Effects, Urges Calm Among Residents
According to a statement from Radio Nigeria, the Kwara State Government has announced the implementation of measures to address the adverse impacts of flooding in certain areas of the state.
In the statement, the state commissioner for environment, Hajiya Nafisat Musa Buge, urged residents to remain calm amid the recent changes in rainfall volume, duration, and patterns, which have resulted in extensive flooding in parts of the state.
The government assured that the current flooding is a temporary occurrence that will diminish over time. It attributes the situation to a global trend influenced by the effects of climate change on the environment, stemming from natural events and human activities.
The statement explains that the rainy and dry seasons no longer fall on the normal transition months, following human influence, which warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land.
The commissioner expressed concern over the impending flood situation, noting that the state government is taking proactive measures to ensure public safety.
It says efforts are on to ensure continuous dredging of the Asa River, construction of embankments, desilting of drainages across the state, provision of additional waste bins, as well as the expansion of the dump site for proper waste disposal.
