Floods: Displaced persons should fumigate home before returning, says expert
An environmental expert, Nurudeen Bello, has advised those displaced by floods to fumigate their homes and other properties before returning.
Mr Bello said in a statement on Monday that this was necessary to avoid attack by reptiles and contracting diseases.
He said, “It is important to raise awareness so that those forced to evacuate due to flooding do not rush back into danger.”
Mr Bello, the director of African Climate Reporters, appealed to non-governmental organisations, CSOs and emergency management agencies to launch a public awareness campaign on the issue.
He decried that this year’s flood displaced thousands of people and destroyed farms and properties across the country.
