The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has orchestrated a remarkable act of support, gifting essential relief materials to 23,000 individuals deeply impacted by the 2022 flood that swept through Niger.
Stepping onto the stage of kindness, Mustapha Ahmed, the director general of NEMA, emphasised this noble initiative during the launch of the distribution event in Minna, Niger State’s capital, on Saturday.
Abubakar Yusuf, Distribution Supervisor, stood in the stead of Mr. Ahmed, underscoring the heart behind this endeavour.
This intervention emerges as a haven for not just farmers who bore the brunt of the 2022 flood but also for the most vulnerable among the victims, extending a compassionate touch to alleviate the pangs of the disaster’s aftermath.
Ahmed, with a spirit of unity, recalled the poignant chapters of the 2022 flood that swept across the nation, leaving no corner unshaken and no heart untouched.
In response, a symphony of care has been orchestrated, composed of sewing and grinding machines, bags brimming with rice, beans, and sorghum, as well as life’s essential companions: vegetable oil, salt, tomato paste sachets, and seasoning.
The items also include mosquito nets to guard against sleepless nights, rubber mats to create a barrier against discomfort, and blankets to wrap hope in warmth.
