The Nigerian Senate has called on the Ministry of Water Resources to rehabilitate Nigerian dams and dredge waterways to be able to take in flood waters. The Upper Chamber advised the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to send relief materials to the affected victims in Kano and other states of the federation. The call was sequel to a motion on the recent flooding across the country, sponsored by Kabiru Gaya (APC, Kano South) and 107 other senators. The lawmakers at Thursdays's plenary also resolved to set up an ad-hoc committee comprising chairpersons and vice chairpersons of the Senate committees on Ecology and water resources to come up with a lasting solution to the issue of flooding.
