He also directed the NDDC to ensure the provision of “relief materials to flood victims” in affected local government areas.

The Minister said the federal government “acknowledges” the development as an “emergency” situation and therefore has directed relevant agencies to ensure that “appropriate actions are taken to arrest” the situation.
