Following the overflow of River Benue, over 2,000 residents are said to have been displaced in Makurdi the Benue state capital.
The state Commissioner for Water Resources and Environment, Mr. Nicholas Wende, said this in an interview in Makurdi today.
He said government has made adequate provision to accommodate the Internally Displaced Persons, who are dislodged by the flood in the state.
Wende added, “We have registered over 2,000 IDPs and they are camped in camps that has met requirements.
“The place is the supposed to be an international market built by the past administration but I suggested that it should be made a permanent IDP camp because we have a befitting and standard market already.”
