Inorder to mitigate flooding, the Delta Capital Territory Development Agency has initiated a comprehensive flood control operation in Asaba.
The Director-General of the agency, Chief Patrick Ukah, on Monday, reiterated the agency’s commitment to building a cleaner, flood-resilient environment in Asaba.
”This effort is part of the agency’s ongoing strategy to improve storm water flow, reduce the risk of flooding, and enhance environmental sanitation.
”This exercise is vital to safeguarding lives, property, and public infrastructure. By ensuring our drains are cleared, we’re reducing flood risks and improving environmental health across the capital territory,” Ukah said.
Meanwhile, the flood control effort is being supervised by Mr Isaac Nwosu, the agency’s Head of Environment.
Nwosu is also coordinating the agency’s field operations to ensure quality and timely execution.
He said: “We are deploying teams across major areas to thoroughly desilt drains and evacuate debris to approved dump sites. It’s a coordinated effort with strong community involvement.”
