The National Emergency Management Agency
(NEMA) yesterday reiterated its partnership with
Kogi State Government to sensitise the people on
possible flood this year and its attendant effects
on them and the environment.
Addressing stakeholders by the emergency
management agencies in the Government House,
Lokoja, the state capital, the representative of
the Director-General of NEMA, Dr. Bamidele
Onimode, said disaster management should be
seen as a security matter, even as he stressed
that it was a proactive step to be always
prepared for any possible flooding in order to
avoid a repeat of the 2012 experience.
He said: “What we are trying to explain is that
the duration of the seasonal rainfall may be
shortened but the volume may be heavier than
expected.
This makes percolation more difficult and
hydrological run-off becomes higher, which leads
to flooding.”
The NEMA boss advised those living around
riverine areas to be on the alert as prevention of
flood would start from them.
