Osun State government on Sunday in Iwo urged residents to be alive to their responsibilities in the prevention and management of flood.

Mr Rufus Oyegbile, Special Adviser to Gov. Gboyega Oyetola on Environment and Sanitation, gave the charge at the inauguration of the dredging of rivers and waterways in Iwo Local Government Area of the state.

He said the charge was in response to warning by the Nigeria Hydrological Service Agency and the Nigeria Meteorological Agency on flood prevention. He added that a forecast by NIHSA and NIMET that the state was highly probable to flood prompted the state government to embark on intensive flood control to protect lives and property of its citizens.

He assured that government would not relent in its efforts to avert environmental disaster in the state. “We have it on record that in the last two years, the government has done a lot on dredging of rivers and waterways across the length and breadth of the state.
