In a statement released yesterday, Faleke said he deeply felt the agonies and pains associated with people losing their properties and other belonging to floods, while calling on the relevant government agencies to move swiftly to prevent a recurrence.
"Honestly I feel your pains and anguish. It is not an experience one would wish for anybody. But we still have to appreciate God that no life was lost in the incident. All hands must now be on deck by the relevant stakeholders to forestall a recurrence through proactive measures aimed at mitigating flooding".
Faleke added his voice to the growing call on the federal government to properly dredge River Niger in order to save lives and property.
" The federal government should as a matter of urgency commence the dredging of the Niger River in order to mitigate flooding. This perennial incident has become one too many and should be completely addressed".
He commended the timely intervention of the various relief agencies in the country in coming to the aid of the flood victims.
