Protect coastal states from imminent flooding, PANDEF tells FG
The Pan Niger Delta Forum has called on the Federal Government to take urgent steps to protect the coastal states of the country from imminent flooding.
The forum said the call became necessary following the predicted flooding coming from the River Niger and the spate of seawater rising from the Atlantic Ocean.
The National Secretary of PANDEF, Dr Alfred Mulade, made the call in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
The statement read, “The Pan Niger Delta Forum urgently appeals to President Bola Tinubu to direct the concerned Federal Government Ministries and Agencies to take immediate and decisive actions to protect the most coastal states of the country from the impending flooding coming from Rivers Niger and Benue spate of seawater rise from the Atlantic Ocean. ”
