Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Muhammadu Buhari has urged governors to meet with the Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, over the floods wreaking havoc in states.<\/p>\n

The President charged them to agree on solutions and escalate their conclusions to the federal government.<\/p>\n

Buhari spoke on Friday at State House, while hosting the outgoing Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) Chairman and Ekiti Governor, Kayode Fayemi.<\/p>\n

At the parley were incoming Interim Chairman, Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto, and Interim Deputy Chairman, Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi.<\/p>\n

The governors said lives have been lost, homes and farmlands washed away in Kogi, Yobe, Jigawa, and others, and requested special federal funding.<\/p>\n

Fayemi, who leaves office later this month, thanked the President for supporting him as Ekiti helmsman, as well as his colleagues.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou always accorded us due regard. You accommodated us, and listened to our pleas.<\/p>\n

You were always there for us when we had challenges, individually, or collectively. We owe you a debt of gratitude\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

Tambuwal noted that the flooding creates a frightening scenario for food security. \u201cWe need to plan ahead for dry season farming\u201d.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Bagudu called for adequate credit for the agricultural sector because of the peculiar challenges.<\/p>\n
