He said most of the mishaps were due to poor conditions of boats and overloading.<\/p>\n

He also blamed the unavailability of life jackets and the preponderance of tree logs on the waterways for the mishap.<\/p>\n

At the flag-off of tree logs cutting and debris removal on Kainji and Shiroro Lakes, Ityav said the project was being executed in partnership with the National Inland Waterways Corporation.<\/p>\n

He said the cutting of tree logs and the removal of debris would reduce boat mishaps and the hardships faced by riverine communities.<\/p>\n
