The General Manager Kaduna state Environmental Protection Authority (KEPA), Mr. Lawal Jibrin said the authority has issued 305 relocation notices to residents of flood-prone areas across the state.
Jibrin told newsmen on Friday in Kaduna that the notices became necessary after a series of meetings and interactions with various stakeholders as no fewer than 30 flood cases were reported in 2020.
“We urge those issued notices in flood-prone areas to relocate to safer places before the rain begins in their own interest.
“Residents are advised to desist from dumping refuse in waterways and drainages, instead they should imbibe the habit of clearing gutters and drainages in their surroundings to guard against flood,’’ Lawal said.
Jibrin said the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) did not predict that Kaduna state would experience a flood in 2021, except for human-induced causes.
