Vice president, Prof Yemi Osinbajo earlier today was in Makurdi, the Benue state capital to assess the level of damage done by the flood.

He visited the areas affected by the flood and was also at the IDP’s camp stationed at Makurdi International Market to talk to the flood victims.

Speaking after an assessment tour of areas affected by flood, he said;

“There must be effective dredging of River Benue as a long term solution to flooding in Benue State.”

Earlier in an welcome speech Governor Samuel Ortom appealed to the Federal Government to create more drainage in the state and as well dredge the River Benue.
