Lawan urges Borno Govt to find lasting solutions to flooding

Senator Ahmad Lawan, former President of the Senate, has called on the Borno State government to work with relevant agencies to find lasting solutions to the state’s flooding problem.

He also commiserated with Governor Babagana Zulum and the people of Borno State over the devastating floods that have ravaged parts of the state.

In a statement, Lawan expressed sadness over the loss of lives and property caused by the flood, which has displaced many residents and destroyed homes, farmlands, and other means of livelihood. He urged the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and other relevant agencies to provide swift relief materials and assistance to the affected communities.

Lawan commended Governor Zulum for his prompt response in evacuating residents from affected areas and providing temporary shelters. He also praised the federal government for providing additional support to Borno State to cope with the aftermath of the flood.

However, Lawan emphasized the need for the Borno State government to work with relevant agencies to find lasting solutions to the flooding problem. He suggested a comprehensive flood control program to mitigate future disasters.

Lawan prayed for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives in the flood and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
