“During the rainy season, most people often desert their houses, and we cannot access the health centre because the available one is far from our communities. We sometimes have to gather ourselves as adults to monitor the movement of persons, especially students, to avoid drowning.”
Ijiola noted that officials from the state Ministry of Environment came to inspect the situation after a letter was sent by the communities to the ministry, adding that they had yet to take any action. “We have written letters to the government, and a team was sent to inspect the situation. I followed up with the team and was informed that a report had been submitted, but since June when the letter was written, nothing had been done about it. Now, there are issues of flooding here and there; our minds are no longer at peace,” he said.
