Tinubu worries about Borno flood, orders NEMA to evacuate victims
The statement is titled, ‘President Tinubu Expresses Concern over Maiduguri Flood, Pledges Federal Support.’
Borno State in Northeast Nigeria is facing its worst flood in recent decades, with thousands of residents fleeing their homes overtaken by water.
Government facilities such as a post office and the Maiduguri Teaching Hospital have been affected, along with a cemetery and a zoo, as wild animals scrambled for safety.
Onanuga said, “President Tinubu extends his heartfelt condolences to the government and people of the state, especially to the families that have lost their means of livelihood due to the disaster triggered by the overflow of the Alau Dam.
“President Tinubu assures Governor Babagana Zulum that the Federal Government is ready to collaborate to address the immediate humanitarian needs of the affected people.
“He has ordered the National Emergency Management Agency to assist the flood victims.”
The presidential aide added that Tinubu remains committed to mobilising federal resources to support the state during this difficult time.
