He expressed optimism that the dredging of the river would provide a permanent solution to the problem.

The Vice President also hoped that the dredging would not only tackle flooding but also creates job opportunities for the youth.

“We need to look at a realistic solution to this problem, the dredging of River Benue is very important in addressing this flood issue and we will do something about it,’’ Osinbajo said.

He said government was not only concerned about this year’s flood disaster but the 2012 disaster too and would find permanent solution to Benue incessant flooding.

“The intention of the Federal Government is not just to assist flood victims but also to find ways of providing real opportunities to help Nigerians improve their standard of living.”

Gov. Samuel Ortom appealed to the Federal Government to assist the state in dredging the river and complete ongoing drainage system in the state.

Ortom also commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his prompt response and provision of relief materials to the flood victims.

He said that the state had received eight-truck loads of relief materials from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), adding that five were on the way.

He said Nasarawa State Government also donated four trucks of relief materials.

The governor commended the Nigerian Air force for the provision of healthcare system to the IDPs and other civil society groups for their various contributions as well.

Osinbajo also visited ecological-threatened areas in Makurdi and Central Store where relief materials are warehoused.
