Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Professor Joseph Utsev, has said that the Federal Government is planning to restart the dredging of two Nigeria’s major rivers – Niger and Benue.
The minister said this in Ilorin, Kwara State, on the sidelines of the closing ceremony of the graduate youth empowerment scheme and distribution of items organised by the Lower Niger River Basin Authority. “The committees will do the assessment on the feasibility of the dredging. After that, we will discuss with President Bola Tinubu. At that point in time, we will make it open to all Nigerians to know where we are on the dredging of the two rivers.”
He said, “Water for irrigation will be used to provide food for the enhancement of food security and ultimately generate income and empowerment as you can see some youths being empowered today.
