Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has lamented the devastating effects of pollution, erosion and flooding on Niger Delta people, saying environmental degradation has led to the death of several children in the region.
Akeredolu stated this at the commissioning and handing over of the erosion control and road improvement works by the Ondo State government in Owo Council of the state at the weekend.
He said flooding had caused severe pollution, decline in agricultural output and untimely death of children, noting that the intervention and completion of the erosion and road works had changed the situation.
