SEMA: 700 houses, farmlands destroyed by flood in Bauchi community

Adamu Nayola, director of planning, research and statistics at the State Emergency Management Agency , spoke in an interview with NAN on Monday.

He added that the agency was also conducting an enumeration of the affected houses and farmlands for the provision of relief materials.In a related development, Clement Eze, director-general of the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency , has pledged continuous monitoring of water levels in rivers across the country to forestall possible flood emergencies.

“Most of those rivers are not dammed, apart from Katsina-Ala river where we have Kashimbilla dam, it contributes to 26 percent of River Benue. If the rainfall intensifies more and which we are monitoring, there could be flooding from that axis.”He said states should complement the federal government’s efforts by sensitising their populace on flood disaster prevention.
