Flood, Osun StateGovernor Rauf Aregbesola and his Deputy, Mrs Titilayo Tomori-Laoye, on Wednesday visited some of the flood affected areas this evening to commiserate with the people. Speaking to journalists at the CAC, Oke Igbala, DCC headquarters Gbonmi Area in Osogbo, the state capital, Governor Aregbesola said his administration is deeply sorry for the loss of life and property of the people. The governor, who noted that indiscriminate dumping of refuse is largely responsible for the flooding, advised the people to desist from blocking the waterways with refuse.
He said his administration had in time past invested so much in dredging of the major water ways identified as flood prone zones to avert such occurrence. He, however, promised that his government will intensify efforts at ensuring that the water ways are made free to avert future occurrence. An unidentified driver lost his life while several property got submerged in flood as a heavy downpour left bitter tales for many residents of Osogbo, the Osun state capital. Some residents in areas like Testing Ground, Rasco, Oke-Onitea, Fiwasaye, Gbomi and Iludun in Osogbo have been counting their losses as the rain came down heavily for three hours, causing flood in many parts of the city.
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.
