 Zulum allays residents’ fears over rising water level at Alau Dam


Governor of Borno State, Professor Babagana Zulum, has allayed fears over the rising water level at Alau Dam, assuring residents of Maiduguri that there is no cause for alarm.


There has been growing anxiety among residents following recent downpours, sparking concerns about potential flooding in flood-prone areas of the state capital. The governor made the statement shortly after inspecting the ongoing reconstruction work at the Alau Dam, located near Maiduguri.


Zulum acknowledged the widespread panic, describing it as a serious concern for his administration. However, he said current assessments indicated that the situation was under control. “As at now, based on the engineering knowledge we are having, we concluded that there is no cause for alarm,” the governor stated.


He explained that new water channels had been opened to ease pressure on the dam, and that the water level had dropped by about four inches in recent days, with expectations of further decline.


“However, nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. We are working and shall continue to monitor this programme. The contractor is doing a good job,” he added.
