2023 flood alert: BSEMA launches awareness campaign for flood evacuation
The Acting Executive Secretary of the Benue State Emergency Management Agency (BSEMA), Sir James Anodoakaa Iorpuu, has initiated a campaign to raise awareness about the urgent need for residents to vacate flood-prone areas in response to the impending release of water from the Lagdo Dam in Cameroon. The flood is expected to impact individuals residing along the banks of the River Benue and those situated in flood-prone zones spanning 22 Local Government Areas.
Sir James Iorpuu is urging residents along the riverbank to relocate to higher ground for their safety. To provide refuge for potential flood victims, public schools across the affected Local Government Areas have been designated as camps.
The Acting Head of BSEMA has identified several flood-prone areas within Makurdi, the state capital, including Achusa, Idye, Wurukum market, Genabe, Industrial layout, Demekpe, Wadata market, Rice Mill, Inongun, Agbohough, Judges Quarters, and Gyado Villa.
BSEMA remains committed to keeping the public informed about the impending flood and its potential impacts.
