These were part of the decisions arrived at by the federal government’s delegate after an on-the-spot assessment visit of the affected community. A delegation led by the state governor, the minister of the environment, Dr. ‘Kunle Salako and his counterpart for water resources and sanitation, Prof. Joseph Utsev, had visited the affected community to convey President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s message of sympathy to the residents, some of whom have been relocated to the premises of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and that of the Nasrullahi Ilfathi Society of Nigeria in the area.

He admonished the residents to be more environmentally responsible, particularly by not building on the flood plains, clear the drainage and ensure that wastes generated are properly disposed of.
