President Muhammadu
Buhari has received with great concern reports of the flooding in Benue State,
which, according to early estimates, has affected thousands of homes and
displaced more than 100,000 persons in 12 local government areas.
Consequently, the
President has directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to
immediately mobilize personnel and resources to come to the aid of the victims
of the flooding.
The President is closely
monitoring the situation, and will be receiving regular updates on the scale of
the disaster, as well as the Federal Government's humanitarian response.
The President extends his
sympathies to the Government and people of Benue State, and assures that the
Federal Government will make available any assistance needed to enable the
State Government and the affected communities cope with and surmount the impact
of the flooding.
