The Federal Government of Nigeria has commenced the construction of a dam in Benue State as part of its efforts to address the recurring flood issues in the region.
This initiative aims to mitigate the devastating effects of seasonal flooding that has plagued the state for years, displacing thousands of residents and destroying properties.
The dam project is expected to enhance flood control, improve water management, and bolster agricultural activities in the area by providing water for irrigation.
This development reflects the government’s commitment to infrastructural development and disaster risk reduction.
