Boat mishaps: Only 29 died in 2022 against 100 in 2021 in Niger - NIWA

The agency hinged the reduction in the mishaps to the cutting of tree stocks on the waterfront.

The MD represented by Captain Abdulkadir Abu, Deputy Director, Navigation disclosed that so far a total of 29 lives were lost in 2022, while over 100 through boat mishaps on the Malale Waterways in the state.The Area Manager of NIWA Niger/Kwara States, Mr. Akapo Adeboye in his address said another factor that assisted in cutting down the incidences of boat accidents was the series of sensitization exercises held by NIWA in the area.

” Two persons will serve in the surveillance and safety agents from the five communities of Malale, Lokomene, Shagunu, Garafini and Duggar who will be monitored and supervised by NIWA and HYPPADEC to ensure its effectiveness” he disclosed. He stated,” Niger State Government will continue to ensure continuous partnership to bring succour to communities in the state. We pray with the launching of this surveillance boat, it will stop boat mishaps on our waterways”.

What kind of achievement is this now?

So you are referring to Twenty nine (29) dead human beings as only?
