A member of the House of Representatives, representing Fagge Federal Constituency, Hon. Mohammed Shehu, has warned that the Kwanar Gogo community in Kano may soon be completely submerged by gully erosion if urgent intervention is not provided.
Speaking with journalists in Kano on Thursday, Shehu lamented that residents of Kwanar Gogo have endured more than two decades of devastating land degradation without a lasting solution.
He said the ecological disaster has already destroyed properties and put several lives at risk, accusing authorities of neglect despite repeated appeals.
The lawmaker expressed concern that despite several inspections and surveys conducted by the Ecological Fund Office, no meaningful action has been taken.
He also denied knowledge of the reported N2 billion allegedly released to address the problem, stressing the need for transparency and accountability.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Kano State received more than N2 billion from the Ecological Fund between January and May 2025 through the Federation Account Allocation Committee, FAAC.
Shehu disclosed that he has raised motions of urgent public importance in the National Assembly on the Kwanar Gogo erosion, as well as sponsored bills to tackle ecological and developmental challenges in his constituency.
He appealed to the Federal Government to urgently intervene to save the community and prevent further loss of lives and property.
