The Kano state government has set up a technical committee to look into the incidents of flooding occasioned by intermittent heavy downpour recorded in the state in the last few days.
The state commissioner for information, Muhammad Garba, who disclosed this in a statement, stated that government is worried about the occurrence of the floods which have wrecked havoc on the metropolitan area.
He said the committee has been saddled with the task of studying the metropolitan roads, drainage and culverts with a view to rehabilitating them and the reconstruction of new others where necessary.
