Eugene Uzum, director-general of the state orientation bureau, said this on Friday at a media briefing in Asaba, the Delta capital. Speaking on the government’s efforts to curb the disaster, he said the Delta State Oil Producing Area Development Commission has constructed two camps in Warri, while work is ongoing to open blocked drainages in the impacted communities.“The government has also opened up distribution centres at various locations to take the relief materials from the Federal Government, corporate organisations and individuals to support the displaced persons,” he said.
“As we speak, all the eight LGAs in Delta south, six LGAs in Delta north, and five LGAs in Delta central senatorial districts have been taken over by flood.“Presently, we have both short and long-term solutions to this problem of yearly flooding; the current intervention to save lives and properties is one.
