NIWA intensifies waterways safety campaign as floods threaten communities

The National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) has increased its efforts to promote waterway safety and environmental protection in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), particularly in areas affected by flooding during the rainy season. The campaign was carried out in Abaji Area Council, where local residents were educated on safe navigation practices and environmental conservation. Officials emphasized the importance of adhering to safety regulations and called for collaboration between communities, boat operators, and leaders to prevent accidents. Traditional leaders, including the Emir of Kwali, supported the initiative and pledged assistance in enforcing these measures. The campaign aligns with national directives from the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy to regularly engage with coastal communities on waterway safety.
