Farming communities along the Shagari Earth Dam in the Lambara Axis of Shagari LGA have been severely affected by a flood that has displaced many residents.
The flood resulted from recent continuous rainfall, which increased the water level in the dam. This led to an overflow that submerged numerous homes in the Lambara and Ruggar Buda areas.
The flood has displaced residents from their homes, affecting schools and roads as well. Significant farmlands have also been impacted, as these communities rely on the dam for irrigation throughout the year.
