Published

on





The Delta State Government has expressed concern over the recent rains that have caused flooding across Asaba, the state capital.

In a statement signed by the Functioning Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Mr Paul Osahor and made available to the press, the government expressed concern over the untold hardship road users and residents have been subjected to as a result of the flood.

The statement said that while it cannot be explained away that the floods are only natural in the face of the low lying nature of the capital city, the delay in the completion of the storm water projects had not helped to bring the desired succour as envisaged, saying even though the linkages in other storm water projects already completed to the streams and rivers ensured that the flood receded fast after the heavy rains.

The government reassured Deltans and residents in the state of its commitment to ensure that the menace of flood was addressed head-on and bring lasting succor to the people.
