The
Director General (DG) of Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF), Mr. Adeniyi
Karunwi has urged Nigerians not to panic as a result of the alert for looming
flood, but rather engage in measures to curb any disaster.
According
to him, people living in areas prone to flood as indicated in a recent warning
by the Nigerian Hydrological Service Agency (NHSA) should take proactive
measures to mitigate the effects of the flood rather than panic.
Karunwi
said measures such as healthy environmental practice, proper waste management
and promotion of energy efficiency should be adopted.He added that people
living in coastal regions should start decongesting and clearing drainages
around their surrounding as well as disposing wastes only in designated
dumpsites.
