The farmers said the flooding being experienced in the state was due to the release of water by the HJRBDA.
A group of farmers in Jigawa State is blaming the management of the Hadejia Jama’re River Basin Development Authority for the flooding in the area that washed away their farmlands.
In a letter dated 9 August 2022, signed by its managing director, Ma’amun Da’u-Aliu, and addressed to the Jigawa government, HJRBDA said it was going to discharge the water from the dam following torrential rainfall in the area. He said the flooding that occurred between August and September was worsened by the release of excess water by the HJRBDA.
