Restoration of lake Tchad through intensive human labour is possible

 

 From 26000 square kiometres in the sixties to barely 1350sqkm today

  Lake tchad is dieing and if it finally  dies out this will be an ecological  and  economic disaster for the sub region.The region has a permanent commission, Lake Tchad basin Commission LCBC .Which is made up of  Cameroon ;Nigeria, Niger, Tchad with head quarters in Njamena Tchad.This commission which is in place since 1964 has helplessly  seen the lake dwindle from 26 000 sq kilometrers in 1964 to roughly 1350sqkilometres presently.

Studies has been sponsored, the most recent was in  2009  which  cost the LCBC members states a colosal amount of  5.5 million dollars.It reccommended channeling part of the Ubangui river to lake Tchad  thereby uplifting its present size by 5400Sqkm..

Since  then the member countriis have been looking fruitlesslky for funds.

Make good use of the millions of unemployed youths and cut down cost by some 90 percent.

With some 15 to 20 thousand youths drawn from LCBC member countries plus the Central African Republic; the the river bed linking Ubangui river  to Lake Tchad can be efficiently realised in less than two years .The cost effectiveness of this method and the added advantage that it provides employment to jobless youth should not be overlooked by the members Countries of LCBC.
