Floods: Residents demand proactive efforts from government, relevant agencies.
By: Mariam Ajani Dolapo
Residents of Ilorin, Kwara State has called on the state government, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Kwara State Emergency Management Agency and relevant agencies to prevent another flooding in the state.
This is given the recent warning issued by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) to Southern states to expect high-intensity rainfall and riverine flooding in the remaining days of the rainy season.
A house owner, Oluwaseun Babatunde stated that he and his family had to relocate from their house temporarily due to the flood.
“You see, we never knew where we built our house was flood-prone. In fact, some years earlier, it was totally safe. So we bought and developed the land until disaster struck, We had to move the little we could salvage out of the house when flood waters suddenly rushed in and disrupted our sleep in the middle of the night, he said.
He however urged kwara state government to come to their aide.
Our government really need to build drainages so as to reduce floods in our area,,,
