He said the committee has been saddled with the task of studying the metropolitan roads, drainage, and culverts in the state of disrepair, with a view to rehabilitating them and the reconstruction of new others where possible.
Garba said the committee would also find out structures built on waterways that often times cause blockages and flooding.
He, however, expressed concern over the calamity and commiserated with the people who have lost their valuables in the incident.
The commissioner further called on the people of the state to bear with the government, saying everything possible would be done to control the situation.
