Construction Of Ogbomu Culvert And Channelisation Of Gully Erosion And Flood Control Sites In Irele And Ipao Ekiti Under Our NEWMAP Programme In The State Ministry Of Environment

Our Assessment

This promise is rated partially completed. While Governor Fayemi began the construction of Ogbomu Culvert and channelisation of gully erosion and flood control sites in Irele and Ipao Ekiti, the work was not concluded till leaving office in October 2022.

Why It Matters

Gully erosion destroys farmland, homes, and roads, displacing entire communities. Channelisation and culvert construction under NEWMAP (Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project) permanently controls flooding, protects vulnerable livelihoods, and prevents further land degradation. This saves lives, preserves agricultural land, and secures critical infrastructure in erosion-prone Ekiti communities.
