Community Development and Need for the Surge of Growth and Expansion In My Area

The world is fast growing and its rate of evolving so as to adapt to the current change of things is quite on a high level but with these series of technological and science development, it seems that the area i find myself currently is far from development even for years to come and its a high time i talk about it from the opportunity given to me through the #aprilinleo initiative under #leogrowth.

The Genesis of this is that am a serving corp member in Kogi state precisely the northern part of Nigeria as i was posted to carry out a service for humanity in my father land. Initially i was scared because i haven't been to the northern part of Nigeria before and the reason why am scared is because of the things i have long read and heard about those region but after my fight or relocating to my base where i will find much peace and comfort, it all failed to the ground and i have to reside in kogi for my one year service to my country.

Consequently, reaching here everything is almost new to me, their way of life, their responses to culture and development but i don't have anything to do than to lower the small standards i already have to live in a place i aren't comfortable with. Some of the discomforts which i face and have to live in here with are even hazardous to my health as in response to it, i have even fallen sick. Some of which are the points am going to outline below:

a] ROAD:

This is another aspect of the community that needs a serious development and renovation. History has it that the community has rivers and we live in a riverine area so when the raining season starts, the places becomes flooded and some of the community members would literally have to vacate from their houses with their valuables until the area becomes okay to be lived in. So as a case of development, the area has to have a good constructed drainage system which oversees the routes of the water such that lives are not been put in danger.
