Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has conducted an assessment of some vital infrastructure, including roads, bridges and hospitals damaged by the recent flood disaster that struck Maiduguri metropolis and the surrounding local government areas.
The governor’s assessment included visits to key areas such as Gwange maternity, road networks, Fori, Moro-Moro and Gwange bridges.
Zulum, while lamenting the destruction caused by the flooding, pointed out that the houses built on the river banks obstructed the passage of water from River Ngada.
He said, “the quantum of the destruction was enormous, you can see we had just visited one place.
“It is very unfortunate that some people choose to build houses right inside the waterways, which obstructed the water passage.
“Otherwise, the water could have passed onto the lowland without affecting the main city”.
