FG Commissions 4.5km Erosion Control Works in Uvu Community

The Federal Government of Nigeria has commissioned and handed over to Borno State Government a 4.5km drainage system with culverts for the benefit of Uvu community in Askira Uba Local Government Area, Borno State.

Performing the official commissioning and handover ceremony on Friday, 13th July, 2018 on behalf of the Presidency was the Honourable House of Representatives Member representing ldeato LGA of Imo State and a member house committee on Environment, Hon Austin Chukwukere.

Delivering President Muhamadu Buhari’s keynote address, the Hon member recognised the great agricultural potential of the people of Uvu community which according to him had necessitated the quick intervention from the Federal Government. He said that the intervention came as one of the developmental packages meant not only to solve the ecological challenges but also to productively engage the Uvu community and entice them back to farm which is in line with the policy thrust of the present administration in terms of agriculture and food security.

He reiterated that the present administration’s
policy on diversification of economy would be complimented with the provision of infrastructural framework which would go a long way in addressing the challenges and threats to lives and property.
