In response to the floods in Borno State, the Federal Government plans to review all dams across the country.
The decision was made during a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting chaired by President Bola Tinubu, according to the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Ibrahim Mohammed.
“The FEC has approved a technical committee to evaluate the condition of our existing dams,” Mohammed stated on Monday. “This aims to assess our ability to address flooding and ensure safety.”
The minister noted the potential for structural issues in older dams and emphasized the need for an assessment to determine their current state of repair.
