As flooding continues to wreck havoc in many parts of Yobe State, the Federal Government has been tasked to provide immediate solution to alleviate the suffering of affected communities and prevent a looming humanitarian crisis.
Senator Musa Mustapha of Yobe East Senatorial District made the call while reacting to the recent flood disaster that cut off nine local government areas from the state capital.
“This natural disaster may exacerbate the existing hardships faced by our people, who rely heavily on the State capital for essential supplies, including food and other basic necessities,” Mustapha said.
According to him multiple villages and towns in the Yobe East Senatorial District have also been cut off, forcing residents to take longer alternative routes to access the state capital.
While commending Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni for promptly sending his deputy to assess the situation within 24 hours of the incident, he sympathized with the affected areas over the incident which damaged critical roads.
He also prayed that God eases the situation.
