The Nigerian Society of Engineers, NSE, Asaba, branch has sought partnership with the Delta State Government towards mitigating the ugly challenge of flooding in Asaba, the Delta State Capital.

This working relationship was established recently when the NSE executives paid a courtesy visit to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, where they presented a technical report on storm-water management  and control to him.

A member of the Delta State House of Assembly, representing Aniocha North Constituency, Emeka Nwaobi,  said he had briefed the governor on the effort the technical committee of the society had put in to document the report on the Storm-Water Management and Control.

The NSE chairman, Bemigho Ofoeyeno, appreciated Okowa for granting the body an audience to present its findings on the Storm Water Management and Control in Asaba and its environs, adding that the NSE was not unaware of efforts made so far by the present administration on flood control through the SMART Agenda that has created immense impact on development already.
