What will you do about flooding and erosion damaging communities?
I will execute a National Flood and Erosion Management Plan: dredging the River Niger and River Benue, managing dam releases systematically, and building master drainage systems in flood-prone areas. I'll also modernize municipal solid waste recycling, since blocked drains worsen flooding, and channel Ecological Fund resources directly into local erosion control and sanitation programmes in vulnerable communities like yours. This is how we protect your homes and land from further loss.

Answer: My strategy is to build master drainage systems in flood-prone areas, modernize municipal solid waste recycling, and channel Ecological Fund resources directly into local erosion control and sanitation programmes.
Q12: Many communities depend on wells that dry up during the dry season. What is your plan for sustainable year-round water supply, particularly in rural areas? Answer: My administration will focus on deep-aquifer drilling, rainwater harvesting infrastructure, and small earth dams to store water for year-round domestic and agricultural use. Q13: We don't have reliable electricity in our community despite having poles and repeated promises. How will you make sure electricity actually reaches underserved communities? Answer: My plan is to move power distribution and generation off the exclusive federal list, empowering states and off-grid developers to directly connect and supply electricity to underserved areas.
