FG TO END FLOODING FROM CAMEROON’S LAGDO DAM

The Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Joseph Terlumun Utsev, has said the government is planning to construct Datsin Hausa Dam in Adamawa State, to serve as a buffer to perennial flooding from the release of water from Lagdo Dam when opened by the Cameroonian authorities.
The minister said during the 2025 Ministerial Press Briefing that it is carrying out a study and design to protect Nigerians from such release.
He added that the government has approved funds for the reconstruction of Alau Dam in Borno State that caused loss of lives and properties after it suffered some damage.
