Ireti Kingibe, the senator who represents the Federal Capital Territory, has urged locals in the FCT communities that have experienced floods to maintain their composure while the required actions are being done to resolve the situation.
Senator Ireti informed residents that proper procedure will be followed in resolving every complaint brought on by the phenomena as he was on an evaluation visit to TradeMore Estate, along the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Expressway in Abuja, a community recently hit by the natural disaster.
The estate was covered in flood after an hour-long, severe downpour, as The Platinum Times has previously reported. Numerous automobiles were taken away. Many of the houses that were submerged up to their roof levels collapsed.
Kingibe in response, said, “As a firm believer in the rule of law, I believe the legal process should be transparent and credible to ensure we have a just and peaceful society.”
The Lawmaker had earlier on Thursday during Plenary at the Senate, noted that “The flooding disaster in the FCT is a devastating issue for the citizens and must be addressed immediately. Environmental challenges such as this must be tackled to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents. The solution must be permanent.”
According to her, the disaster “in the FCT is a devastating issue for the citizens and must be addressed immediately, and Environmental challenges such as this must be tackled to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents. The solution must be permanent.”
She called on relevant agencies to move away “from fighting modes but to look at permanent solutions which can be done.
“Development control, and relevant agencies responsible for these things should be held accountable when these situations arise,” she added.
