The
Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) has reacted the report
one of country’s hydro-power stations, Kainji Hydroelectric Dam in
Kainji has been shut down for repairs.
retwtr.com reported that the hydro-power stations
caved in after the opening of the four spillway gates to
free surplus water influx caused by heavy rainfall. It was said
that the dam was impounding more water than it should.
However, the NIHSA Director-General, Mr Clement Nze, in a
statement, made available to Naija News on Monday , urged Nigerians
to disregard ongoing reports of a burst in Kainji Dam, describing
it as ‘fake news’. He noted that the dam is safe, saying
nothing of such occurred in the dam.
According to him, the Nigeria hydrological services agency works
in synergy with operators of all major dams across the country, and
have not reported any occurrence.

“Nothing happened to the dam, nothing of such, although the
dam is full, because of what is happening in Niger Republic and
excess water, there is no threat whatsoever.“The general public,
especially the print and electronic media, should disregard the
online fake news claiming that there was an explosion in Kainji
Dam.“I can authoritatively confirm that Kainji Dam is safe, no
explosion whatsoever in the dam.
