The National Emergency Management Agency<\/a> <\/strong>(NEMA) presented relief materials to Katsina State on Thursday for distribution to victims of flooding in 13 of its 34 local government areas.<\/p>\n

The affected local government areas are Sabuwa, Funtua, Danja, Musawa, Kusada, Zango, Katsina, Batsari, Batagarawa, Safana Musawa, Kankara and Ingawa<\/p>\n

Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajiya Sadiya Umar-Farouq made the presentation in Katsina.<\/p>\n

According to her the items include 3,000 bags each of rice, maize and beans, 100 kegs of (20-litre) vegetable oil and 200 cartons of seasoning cubes.<\/p>\n

Others are 300 bags of (20kg) iodised salt, 1,000 bags of cement, 100 (25kg) bags of 3-inch nails, 300 bundles of roofing sheets, 100 packets of zinc nails and 500 pieces of three-feet by six-feet mattresses.<\/p>\n

Also presented were 1,000 pieces of blankets, 5,000 pieces of nylon mats, 2,000 pieces of insecticide-treated mosquito nets, 4,000 pieces of Guinea brocade, 500 pieces of wax textile prints and 1,000 pieces of children\u2019s wears.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese items are meant to complement the efforts of Katsina State government<\/a> in providing immediate succour to victims and aid their speedy rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe items are not for sale and should not be sold,\u2019\u2019 the minister warned.<\/p>\n

She commended Gov. Aminu Masari for providing the first line of support to the victims and for constructing more culverts and drainages to address flooding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also aware of personal donations made by individuals to provide immediate succour to those affected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public is reminded and encouraged to avoid practices that can block drainages and should communally participate to maintain them for sustained effectiveness,\u2019\u2019 She advised.<\/p>\n

Responding, Gov. Masari commended the minister and NEMA for providing the support, saying it would go a long way in reducing the challenges faced by victims.<\/p>\n

Represented by the Speaker of the state\u2019s House of Assembly, Alhaji Tasi\u2019u Maigari, the governor assured that government would not relent in efforts to improve peoples\u2019 welfare.<\/p>\n

Fielding questions from newsmen, Director-General of NEMA, Alhaji Mustapha Habib-Ahmed, advised all states to set up local emergency committees to handle disaster management.<\/p>\n

He said the committees should work toward reducing disasters and called on residents to avoid dumping refuse in drainage channels so as to allow free flow of water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
