This is part of the resolutions of the House, following a motion moved by a member representing Patigi Constituency, Ahmed AbdulKadir.

AbdulKadir, had while moving the motion, narrated the ordeal of the victims of the annual flooding, and urged the Federal Government to resume work on the dredging of River Niger, which according to him, commenced, during the tenure of late President Umar Musa Yar ' Adua, to permanently address the problem.
