Federal Govt Says No Agreement With Cameroon
On Dam Construction

News

The Federal Government today, debunked reports that Nigeria entered
into an agreement with Cameroon to build a dam that will mitigate flooding
when water from the Lagdo Dam is released.

Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, stated this in Abuja at the
Budget Defence with the Senate Committee on Water Resources. He said
there is no record of such an agreement but while the government is in the
process of building the Dasin Dam to mitigate flooding from Cameroon’s
Lagdo Dam, there are engineering concerns.

Adamu said Cameroon did not inform Nigeria about the release of water from
the Lagdo Dam until 24 hours after it was released, adding that the Lagdo
Dam contributes only one percent to the flooding in Nigeria, even though
sometimes the water is released without notice.

According to him, 80 percent of the floods in parts of Nigeria are as a result of
ceaseless rainfalls.

Floods have hit parts of Nigeria in the last two months with the National
Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) saying that about 2.5 million
persons were affected and over 603 persons killed by the flooding caused by
torrential rainfall of late.
