 Death toll from Kenyan floods rises to 62, police say A total of 62 people including eight ​children have died since heavy rains ‌and flooding hit Kenya's capital Nairobi and other areas ​late last week, police ​said, Reuters reported. The capital ⁠was the worst hit ​with 33 deaths, the force ​said in a statement on X that updated the official tally ​of casualties. More than ​2,000 families have been displaced across ‌Kenya ⁠and intense rain was continuing in several regions, it added. Aid workers started pulling ​bodies ​from floodwaters ⁠across Nairobi last Saturday after overnight ​flash floods swept away ​dozens ⁠of cars and disrupted flights at East Africa's ⁠biggest ​airport.

 Abia State Steps Up Infrastructure Drive: 53 Meter Curvet Installed on Idima Abam Ndiorieke Road to Tackle Erosion


In a significant step towards improving road infrastructure and environmental resilience, Abia State has completed the installation of a 53-meter length curvet along the ongoing 29km Idima Abam–Ndiorieke Road. 


The project is designed to control erosion and ensure durability along the stretch, marking another milestone in the state’s commitment to quality road construction and sustainable development.


Erosion has long been a major challenge for communities across Abia, particularly in rural areas where poor drainage and unplanned developments often worsen road degradation. The curvet installation is therefore a proactive measure one that not only safeguards the road but also protects nearby farmlands, homes, and livelihoods.


What stands out about this initiative is the state government’s balanced attention to both rural and urban infrastructure. From design to material selection and project delivery, Abia is steadily proving that quality construction can be achieved across all localities not just in city centers.


The ongoing Idima Abam–Ndiorieke road project represents more than just connectivity; it symbolizes progress, safety, and a government listening to the needs of its people. 


Once completed, it will enhance movement of goods and services, improve access to healthcare and education, and boost the local economy.
