5 die in Delta floods, Okowa urges FG to build dams, dredge major rivers ⬇️
Okowa, who made the call while addressing newsmen after visiting flood victims at some Internally Displaced Persons camps, said five persons lost their lives to flood in the state.
He commiserated with families that lost persons and property to the flood, adding that the state government had established 11 holding camps to take care of displaced persons. “We have 11 camps that are currently in place and some of them are in schools and some others are in high places in some locations where the schools have been overrun by the flood water.
“So, I believe that it is important that the Federal Government will look into it very quickly and begin to start the process,” he said. “We are immediately taking care of the people in the camp, which is the first thing to do by providing food, security and healthcare for them here.
