It also appealed to the National Assembly through the senator representing Niger East and its member in the House of Representatives representing Shiroro, Munya and Rafi Federal Constituency to come to the rescue of the people of Shiroro in ensuring that the name Zungeru Dam be changed to Shiroro Dam II.
The association said this would also ensure that the rights and privileges of the indigenes as a people were not shortchanged. The statement reads in part, “Our people living in the upstream have been forced to vacate their ancestral homes to give way for the construction of the dam.
