The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria
Receiving the items on behalf of Governor Godwin Obaseki, his Deputy, Comrade Philip Shaibu appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to muster the will to dredge the River Niger as the solution to the perennial flooding across the country.
He said, “Beyond the federal, state governments or individuals coming to the rescue of flood victims by providing shelter or giving them food. I think we should look for permanent solution, which is the dredging of the River Niger”. “Until the River Niger is dredged, the nation will continue to provide relief materials to victims, but the dredging would drastically reduce the impact of the flood in the country.
While assuring that the items would be distributed to the victims, he said there is hunger in the land and it requires the collective responsibility of all to deal with it.All rights reserved.
