Therefore, it is hoped that the program today, and the subsequent commencement of the civil works at these erosion sites will eventually bring great relief to the people”, the governor said.

He also stated that the project is funded by the state in partnership with the World Bank ACReSAL Project.

The governor further urged the contractors to deploy all relevant resources for the execution of the assignment to ensure quality job delivery that will meet global standards.

In her welcome remarks, Jatto expressed delight on behalf of the state government for the signing of the contract for the gully reclamation, stabilization and channeling of three sites located at Olubo-Ojo Site in Ankpa LGA, Etahi Site in Okene, and the Omigbo channellisation site in Kabba LGA.
