A six hour downpour yesterday left many parts of Makurdi, the Benue state capital, flooded with close to 150 houses submerged in the late night rain that lasted till the early hours of Friday.

Among the areas badly hit by the flood were Demekpe, Wadata Rice mill, Agboughoul village, Mobile Barrack, Achusa village and Logo areas of the town.

The flood which submerged several houses in the affected areas also swept away property of many families who were seen battling to save whatever they could rescue from the flood waters.

Saturday Vanguard discovered in most of the areas visited, that the devastation was occasioned by blocked drainages and non availability of proper drainages in some of the affected communities.

One of the victims of the devastation, in Rice Mill area and a father of three, James Ojudu,told Saturday Vanguard that the flood took them by surprise, stressing,

“we were actually not prepared for this, because we’ve not had serious rainfall in Makurdi since this year.

Saturday Vanguard recalls that a few weeks back, the Permanent Secretary in the state Ministry of Water Resources and
Environment, Engr. Nathaniel Alaaga had disclosed in a radio programme monitored in Makurdi, that the state government had put measures in place to avert possible flooding of parts of the state in the event of any heavy downpour.

The development has however left many families worried especially with the warning by the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, of an impending release of water from excess water from Ladgo dam by the Cameroonian authorities which my affect states and communities along River Benue

Men of the Nigerian Armed Forces have arrested a suspected fuel supplier to the Boko Haram, identified as Mai Mustapha,.

Also nabbed is one Madu, who is believed to coordinate food procurement for the terror sect.
Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, said in a statement on Thursday that the two were arrested by troops at Jehu near Jakana.

He said Madu was involved in coordinating purchase of food items for the insurgents from the neighbouring villages. Usman added that the troops also killed eight terrorists in an encounter at Dumbuluwa village near Fika in Yobe State.

According to him, two members of the local vigilance group were injured by Improvised Explosive Devices in the attack.

Usman added that the Special Forces discovered piles of street lamps poles cut into pieces by Boko Haram terrorists, which they used in making Improvised Explosives Devices’ during a cordon and search operation around Dikwa.

The Acting Army spokesman stressed that the troops of the 7 Division Garrison recovered 15 cows, 174 goats and a donkey from cattle thieves and handed them over to their genuine owners while the rustlers were being interrogated.

Meanwhile, the Acting Director, Defence Information, Col. Rabe Abubakar, has said the United Kingdom had restated its readiness to support Nigeria in its fight against terrorism.

Abubakar stated that the British Deputy Chief of Defence Staff on Military Strategy and Operations, Lt. Gen. Gordon Messenger, made the comment when he led some senior military officers from the UK on a courtesy visit to the Chief of Defence Staff, Maj. Gen Gabriel Olonisakin, in Abuja on Thursday.

Messenger explained that the UK delegation was in the country to identify ideal areas of collaboration between the two countries in the fight against terrorism

Abuja – President Muhammadu Buhari has said Nigerians must stop paying mere lip service to agriculture, as crude oil and gas exports will no longer be sufficient as the country’s major revenue earner.

The president gave the charge at an audience with Dr Kanayo Nwanze, the Nigerian born President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Friday.

“It’s time to go back to the land. We must face the reality that the petroleum we had depended on for so long will no longer suffice. We campaigned heavily on agriculture, and we are ready to assist as many want to go into agricultural ventures,’’ he said.

Buhari pledged that his administration would also cut short the long bureaucratic processes that Nigerian farmers had to go through to get any form of assistance from government.

He told the IFAD President that improvement of the productivity of farmers, dry season farming and creative ways to combat the shrinking of the Lake Chad will also receive the attention of his administration.

“There is so much to be done. We will try and articulate a programme and consult organisations like IFAD for advice,’’ he added.

According to the president, foreign exchange will be conserved for machinery and other items needed for production “instead of using it to import things like toothpicks’’.

Nwanze had earlier congratulated
Buhari on his victory at the general elections and assured him that IFAD was ready to give all possible assistance to the Federal Government and Nigerian farmers to boost agricultural production in the country.

Nwanze, who later spoke to State House correspondents, said IFAD had since 1985 been providing loans and grants in the nation’s agricultural sector to boost agricultural production.

“Nigeria has the largest portfolio of IFAD’s investment in Western and Central Africa and the second largest in Africa.

“But the case point here is that this country has all the endowments that it takes not only for it to produce enough food for its population but also to be the bread basket of region.

“And this is where my institution on my behalf, I offered our services and our support in the agenda of rural transformation as a key ingrate in this country’s economic and social development,’’ he said.

The IFAD is an international organisation dedicated to addressing issues of agriculture and poverty alleviation.
It was established in 1978, and has been collaborating with Nigeria for over 30 years. (NAN)

Why do ladies frown and look very strict when you smile at them in a bus, then when u decide to kukuma mind your business and press your phone quietly to avoid insult they start throwing glances at you like "you no notice me again?"

kanaleke:
Fellow Nairalanders/Nigerians,I strongly believe that the constant criticisms we throw up here in the forum concerning the abject situation of this great country could indirectly make our leaders wake up from their slumber....I am of the believe that the media /publicity of the president,governors etc have ears on the ground about each shades we throw at their boss/es....please let our voice be heard!!!

SeverusSnape:
But Buhari said he will make them equal.

he said o. Maybe he did not decipher what he said.
