Bayelsa State government has constituted a task force to mitigate the effects of flooding in the state, declaring that victims will be relocated to higher grounds and provided relief materials.

The state government, after the weekly state executive council meeting presided over by the deputy governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, said the task force would urgently identify and inspect areas ravaged by flood as well as provide succour to victims.

The state commissioner for Environment, Mr. Iselema Gbaranbiri, while briefing newsmen, said the committee had himself and his counterparts from the ministries of Works and Infrastructure, Health, Lands, Housing and Urban Development as well as the commissioners representing the three senatorial districts and the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA).

Gbaranbiri said the task force would urgently identify and inspect areas ravaged by flood as well as provide succour to victims. He also said the task force would relocate affected persons to higher grounds and provide relief materials.

Also, the commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mr. Moses Teibowei, said the government was aware of the flood situation in the state and set up the committee to alleviate the suffering of the people.

He added that beyond providing short term relief for victims, the committee had the responsibility of proffering medium-and long-term solutions to the issue of flooding in the state.

Teibowei said as part of efforts to reduce the impact of flooding, the government had built flood barriers in some communities, saying its officials would assess the effectiveness of such barriers before taking a decision to either replicate or improve on them in other parts of the state.

He said the executive council approved the award of the contract for another 24km road project from Toru-Orua community to Yenagoa, the state capital. He said when completed, commuters from Ekeremor, Toru-Orua and neighbouring communities in Sagbama and Ekeremor local government areas would not have to drive through the East-West Road to get to Yenagoa, saying the new road would ease the stress of getting to the state capital from those areas.

He described the road as crucial to the state, Teibowei said the project is estimated at N37.4 billion.
