Kogi State Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources,Mr Sanusi Yahaya, said over 150 communities have been submerged following flood in nine Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the State.
Yahaya made the disclosure while addressing newsmen after a stakeholder meeting at the state emergency operation centre on Saturday in Lokoja.
The commissioner noted that the centre had been activated as the state was already experiencing flood emergency.
Yahaya, also the State Coordinator, Emergency Operation Centre (EOC), said that out of the nine local government areas located along the banks of River Niger and Benue, seven LGAs were severely affected while other two were not so severe.
He said the LGAs severely affected are: Ibaji, Kogi Koton Karfe, Lokoja, Ofu, Ajaokuta, Omala and Idah, saying over 90 per cent of Ibaji communities have been submerged.
”Particularly, the majority of communities at Ibaji are underwater, and many households have been affected and displaced.
”As we speak, the water level has risen very high to about 10.60m on Saturday in Lokoja from the report of the Nigerian Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA).
”In the last few days, many communities, settlements have been displaced as a result of flooding,” he said.
He said that over 20 camps had been opened by the government to accommodate flood victims, which were spread across the nine affected LGAs.
Yahaya advised residents of flood-prone areas and affected communities to relocate to safer places or move to the nearest camps opened by the state and local governments, to avoid loss of lives and property.
He said that with the activation of the state emergency centre, the state was collaborating with all the relevant stakeholders to ensure timely and appropriate responses.

“The state needs help; while we are working within the resources available to us, we need temporary shelter provision, food, non-food items and water, which the affected victims would need.
“In terms of efforts to document the displaced persons; the profiling is ongoing and we will keep updating the number of the affected households and persons.
”Our officers are in the field profiling, and we have to put it together before we can give out the figure, and this figure will keep changing day by day,” he said.
The commissioner said the number of households as at Saturday at Gadumo axis was 215, Ganaja 176, Galili axis 272, and Adankolo axis 246, under Lokoja and Ajaokuta LGAs.
He, however, noted that no human casualty has been recorded in terms of death, but stressed that the victims were facing the precarious situation.
The commissioner urged the Federal Government through NEMA to come to the aid of the state while appealing to individuals, organisations and other relevant stakeholders to assist the state.
”We have the Flood Estate in Lokoja, which is directly under the control of Kogi SEMA, and it is already opened for habitation and those to occupy them have been profiled for camping.
”But we do not have enough camps that could accommodate all the affected people, so we are calling on the general public to assist and also be accommodating to victims.
”We have camps that we have equipped with toilets and borehole, especially with the support of the Red Cross; many of those camps have toilets and water supply through borehole.
”The state is equally doing her best to make sure that sanitation, water and hygiene are ensured.
”We are pleading for more emergency shelter like a tent to support the state’s efforts because what we have are not enough. We want the Federal Government, organisations and individuals to support us,” he said.
He named some of the submerged communities as Adankolo, Gadumo, Egan, Budon, Kinani, Esikaku, Oreza, Edimose, Enumayi, Ogbangede, Iganumo, Bagana, Obakume, and Idirisu.
Others are Edeha, Adabode, Edegaki, Akpaku, Okpaka, Adamogu, Kasemiya, Kpakpazi, Kelebe, Ozahi, Panda, Ikumo, Irenodu, Iganumo, Geregu, among several others. (NAN)

Aparatos de calibración: clave para el funcionamiento fluido y óptimo de las máquinas.
En el ámbito de la avances moderna, donde la eficiencia y la fiabilidad del dispositivo son de alta trascendencia, los sistemas de calibración cumplen un función vital. Estos equipos adaptados están diseñados para balancear y estabilizar componentes dinámicas, ya sea en maquinaria de fábrica, transportes de transporte o incluso en aparatos de uso diario.
Para los técnicos en conservación de dispositivos y los ingenieros, manejar con equipos de calibración es importante para proteger el funcionamiento estable y estable de cualquier sistema móvil. Gracias a estas alternativas innovadoras sofisticadas, es posible disminuir considerablemente las vibraciones, el sonido y la tensión sobre los soportes, aumentando la vida útil de elementos caros.
De igual manera significativo es el función que juegan los sistemas de equilibrado en la soporte al consumidor. El asistencia profesional y el mantenimiento constante aplicando estos equipos permiten dar servicios de alta nivel, elevando la contento de los usuarios.
Para los propietarios de proyectos, la aporte en unidades de balanceo y dispositivos puede ser clave para optimizar la efectividad y eficiencia de sus dispositivos. Esto es sobre todo trascendental para los inversores que gestionan modestas y medianas organizaciones, donde cada detalle cuenta.
Por otro lado, los sistemas de ajuste tienen una extensa implementación en el sector de la fiabilidad y el gestión de nivel. Permiten localizar posibles fallos, impidiendo arreglos caras y averías a los dispositivos. Más aún, los indicadores extraídos de estos aparatos pueden emplearse para perfeccionar sistemas y aumentar la presencia en sistemas de investigación.
Las sectores de uso de los sistemas de ajuste comprenden variadas sectores, desde la fabricación de vehículos de dos ruedas hasta el control ecológico. No influye si se trata de enormes producciones manufactureras o reducidos espacios caseros, los sistemas de calibración son fundamentales para garantizar un funcionamiento óptimo y sin fallos.
