HERE IS THE REASON FOR ANNUAL FLOODING IN NIGERIA 🇳🇬

-


 Some Communities in Nigeria like Benue, Adamawa, Taraba, Anambra, Rivers, Bayelsa, Nasarawa and Delta, other states have also been devastated by the flooding that has destroyed many homes and lives in Kogi state.

In 1977, the construction of the Lagdo Dam, located in Northern Cameroon began and was completed in 1982.

Initially, the Cameroonian and Nigerian Government's made an agreement to build two dams so that when excess water is release from the Cameronian dam, the Nigerian dam will be able to retain It coz it would be two and a half times bigger and won't result in flooding 

However, the Nigerian Government agreed to construct the Dasin Hausa Dam in Adamawa State to diminish the impact of any potential flooding from the Lagdo dam in Cameroon.
But regrettably, the Dasin Hausa dam has not been completed since 1982 and this has led to the yearly flooding in Nigeria.

Meanwhile: dredging of River niger and River Benue can help reduce flooding, these two rivers can help accommodate excess water moistened  from Ladgo dam.
