 President Gotswil Akpabil has been urged to prioritize river dredging projects specifically for the Bainway River and others in the 2024 Appropriation Bill. This is worth a view to address in recurrent flooding and its wide-ranging consequences. The motion, which centers on preventing loss of lives caused by floods and the needs to dredge the Bainway River in Adamawa State, was sponsored by Senator Aba Aminuia, representing Adamawa Central. The Senate needs to note that the Bainway River is an international river flowing into Nigeria from the highland of northern Cameroon through Djibeta Iola in Adamawa State to Ibi in Tarrabah State, Makodi in Bainway State, and finally meets River Neja in Kogi State and Lokoja. The Senate needs to aware that the volume of water flow from River Bainway is adversely affected by the climate change and construction of dams resulting to its uncontrolled shrinking with devastating effects on agricultural activities such as dry season, farming, floods, negative effects on the land-waterways transportation. Senator Dixon Seriake, supporting the motion, underscored the importance of establishing the required mechanisms and considering all dams beyond the Niger and Bainway rivers. I also recommend that there should be channelization of River Bainway and River Neja so that there will be agricultural activities all year round because people living along the banks of the river, Bainway and River Neja have only engaged in agricultural activities during the rainy season. In the middle of the rainy season, they are idle. So if you channel the two rivers, it will improve agricultural activities, it will also enhance food security in the country. River Neja and River Basin are upland. But all the water that we are complaining about flows through the Niger Delta, to the Atlantic. But we should advance that resolution so that the waters flowing through the tributaries of the River Neja and the Bainway flowing through the Niger Delta. All the rivers, river Focados, river Non, river Quaibo, all the states are affected in the Niger Delta. Because there has to be more than one dam. There has to be other intervention points down, slowing down the water flow and even keeping the water for other purposes, agricultural and otherwise. President Bola Tinibu was requested to facilitate the speedy construction of dams, including the Dasing Ausa Dam proposed for Furore Luka government area of Adamawa State to mitigate the potential risks posed by excessive flooding from the Lakdodam in Cameroon. The National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, was also called upon to provide relief materials to flood victims and create awareness regarding the dangers of river crossing before or after heavy rainfall.
