The Benue State Government has started the demolition of buildings on waterways at the Mechanic Village in Kanshio Welfare Quarters of Makurdi and other parts of the state to avert flooding during the rainy season.

This was disclosed by the Commissioner for Humanitarian and Disaster Management, Aondowase Kunde.

“We are working on contingency and resettlement plans in the next two weeks. I will be traveling to Burkina Faso next week to learn their model for resettlement of flood victims and other areas of security, humanitarian and development so that we can work on our own model.

“Once we work on our model, we will come up with a road map on flooding. Those who built on waterways, their houses will be demolished.

“We have already started demolition at the Mechanic village in Kanshio, Welfare Quarterss and other parts of the state, to ensure that when rain falls, there will be easy passage for it.

“On the dredging of River Benue, we have written to the Federal Government that is working on dredging of the river.

“The river has been overflowed by sand and when the dredging is done, the depth of the river can hold water such that even if Lagdo Dam is opened, it can carry it and this issue of flooding will be put to rest,” the commissioner said.
