The National Youth Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Muhammad Auwal Musa, has called for action from government, and well-meaning individuals to cushion the impact of the flood in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Musa, who is also the chairman of the National Youth Leaders Forum of Political Parties in Nigeria, made the call in a statement he signed and made available to reporters on Thursday.
DAILY POST reports that the devastating flood has left numerous individuals without shelter, livelihoods, and essential resources, causing immense suffering and displacement.
The youth leader acknowledged the goodwill of many Nigerians and insisted that more help should be rendered to those affected by the disaster.
“I call on the Federal Government to urgently take immediate and proactive action to provide emergency relief and support to affected communities; initiate long-term measures to prevent future flooding; and support rebuilding and rehabilitation efforts,” he said.
While noting that the Federal Government has a critical responsibility to prioritise the welfare and safety of citizens, he called for mobilisation of resources and urgent response to alleviate the suffering of our people.
“The scope of this disaster demands a comprehensive response from the Federal Government,” he stressed.
