 The federal government has reiterated its commitment to utilize all river basins, dams in the country, to sustain all seasons farming for maximum food security and export across the globe. The Ministry of State for Water Resources and Sanitation, Bello Goronio, said these at his working visit to the National Institute of Water Resources in Kaduna State, Northwest Nigeria. Goronio said the Ministry will harness the 12 river basins and dams across the country to achieve sustainable food sufficiency and create job employment to the team in yields. Basins we have about 12 basins are enough to feed this country and even for export. And with the Institute here, it has the capacity to give enough manpower needed for the entire county and beyond. This is a world-class institute which has the ability and the capacity to train and re-train all the staff in the basins and across the continent and possibly on the lives of the people of this country. Also the Director General of the National Institute of Water Resources, Kaduna Professor Immanuel Adhanu said Nigeria can take advantage of flood waters to boost food production. A few years we have been very much involved in flooding incidents in Nigeria and all the flooding we have been hearing in Nigeria for the past maybe 12 years, 11, 12 years we have been abreast with it and we have documents of flooding all over the country. We have sometimes produced these documents, send them to the states involved and we hear not casualties of flooding. So this is part of what we do and we keep doing it because it's a research institute set for that, we do research into that. Nothing prevents us from doing the research.
