Former Director of Northeast Development Commission (NEDC), Chief David Sabo Kente, has expressed deep concern over the recent devastating floods that ravaged Borno State, warning that, future disaster looms.

The former NEDC boss said Alau Dam is in a precarious condition and on the brink of collapse, adding that the region could face even more catastrophic flooding without urgent repairs after the rainy season.

Kente in a statement on Tuesday commended the prompt intervention of the North East Development Commission by allocating a whooping billion to support the flood victims, a measure he described as ?extraordinary? and a source of personal pride.

He, however, expressed fear of future disasters, specifically pointing to the ?precarious? condition of the Alau Dam.

He warned: ?The dam Is on the brink of collapse and, without urgent repairs after the rainy season, the region could face even more catastrophic flooding.?

He however urged the Federal Government to prioritize repairs of Alau Dam, stressing the importance of swift action to prevent further loss of life and property.

Kente expressed his solidarity with the people of Borno, Governor Babagana Zulum, and Vice President Kashim Shettima, and prayed for divine protection against future disasters.

Kente, who was out of the Country at the time of the flood, offered prayers for the families of those affected and praised the global relief efforts underway.

?I am heartened by the support from around the world, including contributions from UN agencies,? he said. (The Nation)
