Fish farmers in Ogun State, particularly in Ijebuland, are appealing to President Bola Tinubu and Governor Dapo Abiodun for urgent assistance after flooding damages fish farms and leads to estimated losses of about N700 million. The farmers say the flood destroyed or affected stocked fish and farming infrastructure, severely disrupting production and income. They are requesting government intervention that includes relief measures and compensation to help them recover and restart operations.
According to the reports, the farmers frame their appeal as time-sensitive, citing the need for support to replace damaged stock, repair facilities, and sustain livelihoods while production returns. They are seeking support from both the federal and state governments, directing their request specifically to Tinubu and Abiodun. The outlets also indicate that the farmers are calling for a clear response plan to address the losses caused by the flooding.
The coverage focuses on the farmers’ losses and their formal appeal for government help, without presenting details of any official compensation process or announced payouts at the time of reporting.
