Residents cry as torrential rains cut off farming community in Taraba

Peva town, in Taraba state’s Takum local government area, a farming community has been cut off from economic activities due to flood, residents say.

Tertsea Chieve, a resident of Adu, lost his rice farm to the floodwaters that cut off the village from Peva market. “This is the worst rain I have seen in my life”, Chieve lamented. The road has never been in great shape, but it was our only link to the market. Now it’s completely gone.” According to him, the road was also a vital conduit for essential services, including healthcare, education, and supplies.

“For many families, the road also serves as their access to education, as children from Adu attended schools in Peva. With the road gone, the daily journey to school has become an insurmountable challenge, threatening to disrupt the education of dozens of children.
