The Federal Government, donor agencies, and private individuals have been called upon to extend the same level of support to the flood-stricken Niger Delta region as recently provided to Borno State.
Hon. Yekini Nabena, former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), made this appeal on Tuesday in Abuja, emphasizing the urgent need for relief efforts in the Niger Delta due to the devastating effects of flooding that has claimed lives and destroyed farmlands.
In his statement, Nabena specifically urged the new Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, along with agencies such as the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the National Commission for Refugees, to take action and address the ongoing crisis in the region.
He highlighted that farmers in Bayelsa and Delta states are experiencing heavy losses as floods have washed away their cassava farms, leaving communities struggling to recover.
