A delegation from Edu/Patigi led by Etsu Tsaragi, Aliyu Ndakpotwa Abdullahi and Etsu Patigi, Ibrahim Umar Bologi II in Kwara North has appealed to Governor AbdulRahman AdulRazaq to prevail on the Federal Government to dredge the River Niger from Baro to Jebba.
They say the dredging will curb the perennial flooding in the local government areas of the state as the region was mostly affected by the flood every year.
The delegation, which also included the state former Head of Service, Mohammed Dabarako; and former Permanent Secretary, Mohammed Koro, called on the Governor to also intervene on the issue of Hydroelectric Power Area Development Commission (HYPADEC) and appoint the executive director of the agency from their area.
A delegation of Old Students Association of Patigi Secondary School in Patigi Local Government, led by Etsu Patigi also commended Governor AbdulRazaq for the comprehensive renovation of the school 50 years after it was established.
A press statement by the Governor Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye said Governor AbdulRazaq commended the delegation for the visit, saying the ongoing school rehabilitation was necessitated by years of neglect of infrastructure in the education sector and the near collapse of basic amenities across board.
