FLOODING: GOVERNOR ADELEKE COMMISERATES WITH VICTIMS IN IWO, DIRECT COMMISSIONER FOR ENVIRONMENT TO CONDUCT ON THE SPOT ASSESSMENT

NEWS RELEASE

OSOGBO – 15/09/2025 – Osunstate.gov.ng

The Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has expressed his sympathy with the people of Iwo on the devastating flood that occurred on Friday due to hours of heavy rainfall, assuring the people of ongoing efforts to prevent future occurrence of the natural disaster.

Governor Adeleke rues the huge personal losses suffered by residents as a result of the flooding incident, noting that his administration will be taking nothing to chance to safeguard lives and properties of the people.

The Governor said his administration has deployed resources to expand waterways in Iwo and environs in addition to those already done, assuring victims that the government will take stock of losses and provide appropriate support for victims.

“I am devastated to learn about the monumental damage caused by flooding that occurred in Iwo on Friday following hours of heavy downpour. The scale of the losses suffered by our people as a result of the natural disaster is especially heavy and I can only imagine the toll on our people in Iwo,” Governor Adeleke noted in a statement.

“I want to, on behalf of the State Government, convey heartfelt sympathy to everyone affected in one way or the other. As a government, we stand with the people of Iwo in this difficult moment, and assure them of our commitment to support them to overcome the challenges created by the incident.

“Before this incident, our government has taken flood prevention steps, which includes dredging of Aiba waterways among others to open up water channels and ensure the free-flow of water to avert flooding. Following the incident, the government has mobilised resources for the channelisation of more waterways to ensure that this awful incident does not happen again.

“I have also directed the Commissioner of Environment to conduct on-the-spot assessment and come up with a lasting solution to flooding in Iwo and environs. The people of Iwo and indeed, Osun state can be rest assured that we are doing everything possible to tackle flooding in the state.”

Governor Adeleke urged the people of Iwo and Osun people to support government efforts to prevent flooding by stopping the indiscriminate dumping of refuse on water channels.
