The government explained that the alert followed the incidence of flooding already being experienced in the neighbourhood of Ajegunle, Kara and an additional alert issued by the Ogun Osun River Basin Authority on the operation of Oyan Dam for flood in September and October.
Citing a statistical table released by the River Basin Authority, Adeshina stated that the amount of rainfall recorded from January to October 2023 indicated that most of the rainfall in the area has fallen.
“Likewise, the volume of water released from January to October 15, 2023, is more than the average synthesized Annual Flow volume of 1770Mcm against a Gross Storage of 27+90Mcm,” he said. The utmost concern of the state government, he noted, is the safety of the lives and properties of residents and this explains the urgent call for relocation by those affected, adding that the safety of lives and properties is the uppermost.Politicians Think It’s Impossible To Win Elections Without Rigging Plan — Itodo
