Flooding: Environmentalist calls for construction of buffer dams along River Niger





The federal government has contracted three major construction companies to free the submerged Lokoja-Abuja highway from flooding and NEMA is currently camping thousands of displaced flood victims.
Mr Idowu Salawau, an environmental consultant to the Ministry of Environment has called for the construction of ‘buffer dams’ along the plains and tributaries of River Niger to address the over-flow of the river that has led to devastating flood in settlements along the river.
