The National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, has warned about imminent flooding in some local government areas of Rivers State during the rainy season.
The South South Cordinator of NEMA, Godwin Tepikor, who gave the warning in Port Harcourt on Saturday, explained that Rivers Niger and Benue often empty their waters in the Niger Delta region when they overflow during the rainy season.
Tepikor, therefore, called on local government council authorities to begin now to identify high places where their citizens can be relocated when the flooding starts.
He said the local government areas that may be impacted by flooding include; Abua Odual, Ahoada East and West, Ogba Egbema Ndoni, Okirika, Asari Tori, Akuku Toru and Andoni.
The Northern Governors’ Forum has condemned the recent killing of three students of the Greenfield University, Kaduna.
The Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Plateau, Simon Lalong, described the incident as an act of wickedness and barbaric, saying the perpetrators must not go unpunished.
The governor condemned the act, in a statement by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr Makut Macham, on Saturday in Jos.
The three students were among those abducted few days ago by gunmen at the university campus.
Lalong said there was no justification for the murder of the innocent students who were simply in school to study and prepare themselves for service to the nation.
