Kano State House of Assembly has urged the government to rescue the residents of three communities in Ungoggo Local Government from erosion.
The advice followed a motion yesterday by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member representing Ungoggo Constituency, Alhaji Aminu Sa’adu.
He said the erosion, which affected Zangon Marikita, Gayawa and Dankunkuru communities, has destroyed houses, schools and business places.
“It was necessary for me to call on the assembly to urge the government to rescue our communities because the situation caused by the erosion has crippled businesses, which is a great challenge to the economy,” he said.

Sa’adu said due to the collapse of some schools, as a result of the erosion, children in the affected areas cannot go to school, adding that “this is a threat to education in Kano.”
“To tell you how serious the erosion affected the area, in a normal situation, from the Airport road it can take you only 10 minutes to get to these communities. But now it takes motorists not less than two hours before they get there.
“The condition in which the residents live is bad,” he said.
The session, presided over by Speaker Abdulazeez Garba-Gafasa, unanimously adopted the motion and urged the government to rescue the victims. [THE NATION]
