Flooding: Delta, Kogi create IDP camps, Anambra, Kwara warn communities

In his remarks earlier, Governor Idris appealed to the President to assist Kebbi rice farmers adversely affected by the flooding that washed away their crops.

“We appeal for support for the flood victims whose farms were devastated by floods, to at least mitigate their loss,” the governor said.

He noted that as soon as the wet season ended, the state would engage in massive dry season farming with support and encouragement for farmers.

The Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu, commended Tinubu for his leadership in reforming the economy.

The road project from Sokoto to Badagary in Lagos, he said, would help farmers “in the areas of irrigation and food security.”
