Ohikwo Muhammad, Lokoja
Ohimegye Igu of Koton-karfe, Alhaji Abdulrazak Sani Isa-Koto has sought government’s support in permanently relocating communities prone to incessant flooding in Kogi State.
The Ohimegye Igu made the appeal at the Government House, Lokoja during a meeting between Kogi State Governor Alhaji Yahaya Bello and first class and second class monarchs across state.
The monarch decried the devastation already caused by the ravaging flood which he said had damaged farmlands and sacked communities as it was not abating.
Alhaji Abdulrazak therefore sought support from both the state and federal governments for displaced communities to be assisted with building materials and social amenities in order to relocate to better places.
The Traditional Ruler who said that the state government had been able to galvanise communities into taking issues of security seriously further applauded measures put in place by government to keep citizens safe.
