The Kano State Government has instituted a committee to review structures erected waterways in the metropolitan area of the state.

“The state government has set up a technical committee to expeditiously look into the prevailing incidents of flooding occasioned by the intermittent heavy downpours recorded in the state in the last few days,” Garba stated.
The commissioner added that the government was worried about the occurrence of the floods which have wrecked havoc on the metropolitan area.

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.
