“It was in the light of these pressing realities that the Federal Government through the National Hydro-Electric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (N-HYPPADEC) took decisive action to address the root causes of flooding and mitigate its impact here in Kogi and other states where the Commission operates.

 

“The construction of the Koton Karfe Flood Control Project stands as a testament to Mr. President’s resolve to ameliorate the sufferings of the people it is meant to serve,” the SGF said.

 

Akume, represented by the Director, SGF’s Office, Simon Tyungu, commended the commitment of the N-HYPPADEC for the prompt execution of the project and encourage the Commission to replicate same gesture in other flood-prone communities across the country.

 

He urged the host community to actively participate in the maintenance and upkeep of this infrastructure to remain vigilant and proactive in ensuring that the flood control measures remain effective and operational.

 

Kogi State governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo, who was represented by his deputy, Salifu Joel Oyibo expressed gratitude to the Federal Government for the intervention projects which have ameliorated the plights of the people in the state, noting that the intervention has brought an end to the recurrent flooding during rainy seasons in the area.
