Gov. Aminu Masari of Katsina State has urged citizens to desist from constructing houses on waterways to prevent flood disaster.
Masari made the call in an interview with newsmen on Tuesday in Katsina after inspecting some Local Governments affected by flood disaster.
He said that houses constructed along the waterways in Funtua, Malumfashi, Dutsin-ma, Katsina and Daura, would be demolished.
‘’All houses constructed on waterways at the 34 Local Government headquarters will also be demolished to provide drainage for smooth flow of water in various towns across the state.
The governor called on district heads and Local Government chairmen to identify sites where people would be resettled after the demolition of their houses.
Masari maintained that government would not allow its citizens to risk their lives by building houses on waterways.
He appealed individuals and corporate organisations to assist flood victims in the state. (NAN)
