Nigeria maps restoration priorities for the 4.9-million-hectare Oshin-Oyi catchment
An ACReSAL assessment says about 48% of the catchment faces high soil-loss risk; stakeholders prioritised erosion control, flood management and climate-smart farming.
Nigeria’s ACReSAL project reported on 18 October about stakeholder work on a Strategic Catchment Management Plan for Oshin-Oyi. The catchment covers approximately 4.9 million hectares across parts of Kwara, Kogi and Niger states and supports agriculture, livestock systems and urban water networks.
The assessment said about 48% of the catchment faces high soil-loss risk and some communities along the Niger floodplain experience recurring floods. Proposed priorities include gully-erosion control, afforestation, flood management, river desiltation, climate-smart agriculture and improved clean-water access. These are planned interventions, not completed works.
