Conscience For Human Rights and Conflict Resolution (CHRCR), a civil society organisation (CSO) in Kogi, has appealed to Yahaya Bello, governor of the state, to intervene in the water scarcity
According to NAN, the CSO said this on Saturday in a statement by Idris Miliki, its executive director.
“Your Excellency, it may interest you to know that living has become unbearable for residents of Lokoja and other parts of the state as a result of the failure of the ministry to process and distribute potable drinking water to them for months,” the statement reads.Miliki said since the flood that ravaged Kogi in 2022, residents are yet to enjoy the provision of water, which is a basic responsibility of any government.
“Worse still, no single senatorial district can boast of water provided by Kogi Government, despite the location of River Niger and Benue in the state metropolis,” the statement reads.“Water is everywhere in Lokoja, yet there is not a drop to drink as people suffer daily looking for water to drink, as the government in place fails to provide water for them.
