The Federal Government has dismissed the rumours of impending collapse of Goronyo Dam, calling on residents of the community not to entertain any fear.

Minister for State for Water Resources, Barrister Bello Goronyo, gave the assurance on Tuesday while speaking with newsmen shortly after his visit to the dam.

He described the story of the imminent collapse as the imagination of some mischievous people without any iota of truth.

According to him, “I was in Goronyo Dam today (Tuesday) together with some of the officials of Sokoto-Rima River Basin, where we went to see things again.

“I am glad to say it that the Dam is intact, good and with no problem whatsoever.

“The Dam was designed to accommodate about 942 million cubic meters of water and as at today, the water level there is just about 685 million cubic meters of water.

“As at today, that dam can still accommodate over 200 million cubic meters of water. I was not told, but went there by myself.

“There is no cause for any alarm about the dam, I don’t know where the report of imminent collapse of the dam comes from. So, I called on everyone to remain calm.

“Similar rumour was made sometimes about Dandikowa Dam but when we got there, it was discovered to be a rumour and fake,” he added.

The Minister however called on the people of Sokoto and Kebbi states not to panic over the story.

He assured that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration is concerned with the safety of the citizens and will not do anything to jeopardise their safety.
