Ravine erosion threatens Jigawa communities
Ravine erosion threatens to destroy the Kore community in Garki Local Government Area, Jigawa State.
Resident Malam Musa told the DAILY POST that for more than 40 years the town has been threatened with destruction by landslides due to erosion.
According to him, “the ravine widens during the rainy season and has invaded several agricultural lands in the community.
“As you can see, we risk losing our homes and farmlands if urgent action is not taken to recover them. »
Musa urged governments at all levels to urgently prevent residents from losing their homes.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee of FERMA, Senator Babangida Hussaini, said earlier during an inspection of the area that the government had already put in place a mechanism to solve the problem.
He said the contract had been awarded and the contractor was mobilized to the site.
