The Kwara state Governor Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed has paid an assessment tour to communities in Patigi Local government area of Kwara State that were affected by flood. At the palace of the Etsu Patigi, Governor Ahmed called on the federal government to help in dredging the river saying it will help a long way in reducing flood and improve economic lives of the people.

In his remarks, Etsu Patigi, Alhaji Ibrahim Chatta lamented that the people of his community have year in year out lost their means of livelihood due to flood. The Royal father said Patigi is the most affected in the state with about one hundred communities and thousands of hectares of farmland being submerged.
