Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has visited flood-affected areas in Lafiagi and assured the victims of his administration's continued support and intervention.

The Governor, who was represented by his Deputy, Mr. Kayode Alabi, expressed his sympathy to the people of Pututa village and Gwa bridge in Lafiagi community, where farmers lost farm investments worth millions of naira due to the ravaging flood.

The Emir of Lafiagi, Alh. Mohammed Kudi Kawu, said the flooding has been a recurring problem for years and is caused by the dredging of the Niger River, which is close to the community. He commended Governor AbdulRazaq for responding in less than 24 hours to their distress call.

The Governor assured the people of Lafiagi that his administration will do everything possible to help them recover from the flood. He said that the government will provide relief materials to the victims and also work to find a permanent solution to the flooding problem.
