Posted by In light of the recent flood tragedy, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of the Kogi Central Senatorial District has sent her sympathies to the people and administration of Borno and Bauchi States.
Damage to buildings, infrastructure, and farmlands was significant after the collapse of Alau Dam near Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, was caused by heavy rains in recent days.
According to Schoolhubby, heavy rains caused flooding in Bauchi. Yobe and both of these states have seen a decline in population.
The senator voiced her support and urged the governments of the impacted states to act quickly.
She lauded the selfless efforts of the federal government, the governments of Borno and Bauchi states, first responders, and humanitarian groups in delivering aid.
On Wednesday in Abuja, Natasha urged the governments to take action to prevent future disasters of a similar kind, according to a statement released by her Chief Press Secretary, Arogbonlo Israel.
The news of the devastating flooding in Borno and Bauchi has pained me to my core. The brave residents of these states have my deepest sympathies as they endure the devastating loss of life, property, and livelihoods.
There must be immediate action to avert future calamities of this kind in light of the federal and state governments’ commitment to provide relief and assistance to those in need.
Urgent and unwavering response is required in light of the catastrophic consequences of these floods. To make sure the impacted communities get the help they need, I will keep fighting for the funding and support that is required.
During this difficult time, she emphasized that the people of Borno and Bauchi were in her prayers.
