KADUNA GOVT BEGINS DREDGING RIVER TO TACKLE FLOODING

Kaduna ramps up flood prevention with a new dredging project using a state-of-the-art swamp buggy to protect vulnerable communities.

Kaduna State launched a 4,000-meter dredging of River Kaduna covering flood-prone zones like Barnawa and Living Faith. The government’s new swamp buggy, the state’s first flood-control tool, will clear river tributaries to boost water flow and reduce flood risks. Agencies including NEMA and NIWA pledge ongoing support and enforcement, while public awareness campaigns push for community cooperation ahead of predicted heavy rains.
