Goje explained that SEMA was currently assisting victims of Potiskum’s most recent floods by providing life-saving assistance and early recovery assistance.
The state government’s intervention, in his opinion, had benefited over 600 displaced people who had sought temporary shelter at Sabon Gari Primary School.
In addition to providing for the immediate household’s immediate needs for shelter and hygiene, the intervention includes daily meal assistance, cash assistance, and the distribution of dignity kits.
Mrs. Zubaida Umar, NEMA’s Director General, reported that the organization had activated the Maiduguri operations office, which immediately sent a rescue team to the affected areas.
According to preliminary assessments, 21 communities in five Potiskum wards have been impacted.
