Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Flood victims in Adankolo in Lokoja LGA of Kogi State have pleaded for an urgent government intervention.<\/p>\n

They also appealed to international organizations to urgently come to their aid in order to ameliorate the impact of the disaster.<\/p>\n

Several houses, public buildings and farm produce were destroyed in the area, leaving residents in abject poverty.<\/p>\n

In Adankolo New Layout on Sunday, some flood victims disclosed that they were ready for resettlement but are seeking the government\u2019s support.<\/p>\n

They explained that Adankolo community is persistently ravaged by flood annually.<\/p>\n

Madam Patricia Ameh, a resident and mother of nine, revealed that the people of the area now live in poverty due to the devastating effect of the continued flood on the people, a situation that calls for concern by all.<\/p>\n

Patricia, who is a widow, said that the people are ready to relocate but have no means.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy building has been submerged already, but I don\u2019t have money to pack my property from the building. I didn\u2019t have money to rent another house. I am appealing to the government to assist those of us affected by the flood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another flood victim identified as Abdullahi Sadiq lamented that the Kogi State Emergency Management Agency (KSEMA), has not given them any relief items.<\/p>\n

He added that they were vulnerable to all kinds of water borne diseases and infections due to lack of good drinking water and toilet facilities.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Kogi State Government has recently established 42 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps across eight LGAs as a proactive measure towards mitigating the impact of floods.<\/p>\n
