Pre-assessment relief materials were dispatched to the victims within 48 hours of the floods.
According to a statement issued by the President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aide, Mallam Garba Shehu, ten trailer loads of building materials including zinc, planks and cement, as well as tons of grains, cereals and other edibles had so far been delivered.
The flood victims also received blankets and mattresses.
