Member countries of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) have opened bids for the evaluation and in-depth study on improving water flow into the lake chad region.
The in-depth study would be carried out on the Chari and Logone Rivers, which flow through the Central Africa Republic.
Nigeria’s Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, noted that the Lake Chad basin had suffered from a combination of the impacts of climate change in the last four decades.
The study, he said, was, therefore, pivotal to the revitalisation of the Lake Chad and necessary to sustainably address the effects of climate change, youth unemployment and endemic poverty in the region.
