Bayelsa Governor Cautions As Ocean Surge Endangers  Communities

Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State has said coastal communities in the state are in danger of being submerged by the Atlantic Ocean.

His Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah, in a statement, said the governor, while addressing the Odioama chiefs, elders, youths and women at the community town hall, lamented the effects of coastal erosion on communities along the banks of the Atlantic Ocean.JAMB Result
Diri said the state government would commence the shoreline project, while awaiting the Federal Government’s collaboration, noting, however, that it is beyond its scope to address such challenges in Odioama, Koluama, Sangana, Agge and other communities facing similar threats.InformationGuideNigeria
While calling for intervention and support of the Federal Government on the shore protection project, he stated that the state’s immense contribution to the economic wellbeing of the country needed to be reciprocated.
