News Brief: NOA Urges Kebbi Residents To Relocate Amid Dam Water Release, Flood Risk
The National Orientation Agency (NOA) in Kebbi State has warned communities along River Goronyo and River Niger to relocate immediately, citing imminent flooding risks following the planned release of water from nearby dams.
Assistant Director of Media, Larai Saminu Nazo, said the release is a safety measure to preserve dam structures but will significantly raise river levels, threatening low-lying communities.
She stressed that the directive must be taken seriously, urging residents to cooperate with local authorities and follow evacuation plans. The agency said it is working with emergency and river basin authorities to ensure affected communities receive support.
“Timely relocation now can avert disaster,” Nazo added.
