President Bola Tinubu said on Wednesday he received the news of the devastation wreaked by floods on communities and farmlands across the country with profound grief.
Recent data by the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, indicates that lives have been lost, with thousands of hectares of farmlands damaged and thousands of people displaced by floods across the country.
The President also noted that his heart goes to all victims of these ravages of nature, especially bereaved families, farmers, displaced communities, and those who have lost property.
He re-emphasised the need for a concerted effort to address existential environmental concerns and build a more climate-resilient and adaptive society.
“The President prays for the repose of the souls of the deceased while assuring Nigerians that his administration, through the relevant agencies, will continue to provide the needed support for victims, as well as timely warnings to mitigate the impact of environmental mishaps,” a statement by Tinubu’s media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, noted.
