In a conscious effort to mitigate flooding in Delta State, the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, has made deliberate effort in de-silting canals and drainages across its mandate areas.
The exercise, which began on Thursday, is still ongoing, with activities continuing in Jesse town on Monday.
At the Ukuedejor/Police Station Road, a massive drain de-silting and evacuation of wastes exercise took place with the help of pay loaders and trucks stationed for the exercise. Residents expressed gratitude for the ongoing exercise, thanking Governor Oborevwori and the DESOPADEC Board for the timely intervention.
Other areas in Jesse where the de-silting exercise has taken place include Jesse Primary School Road; Akpaka Road; Olympia Road; Oyibo Dedegbo Road and Uyo Road.
