Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>No fewer than 4,885 households have been destroyed by flood in Ogun State in recent times, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has said.<\/p>\n

NEMA\u2019s Director-General, Mustapha Ahmed, made this known in Abeokuta, Wednesday, while presenting relief materials to the Ogun State government for onward distribution to victims of flooding across the State.<\/p>\n

Represented by the Director of Special Duties, Dr Bandele Onimode, Ahmed maintained that the incident had claimed lives, displaced people, brought about loss of means of livelihood and socio-economic dislocation.<\/p>\n

The NEMA boss narrated that the flooding had destroyed several houses in Ogun, while hectares of cultivated farmlands had been submerged.<\/p>\n

According to him, the world economic meltdown and pre-harvest food shortages had further exposed the vulnerability of those affected by the deluge.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the South West Zonal office of NEMA had in collaboration with relevant agencies of the State government conducted damage\/loss assessments to guide relief interventions to persons in need of support in Ogun.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result of the assessment indicated that 4,885 households were affected by the flood,\u201d the NEMA DG said.<\/p>\n

He stated that President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the release of 12,000 metric tonnes of assorted grains from the National Strategic Reserve for distribution to flood affected States.<\/p>\n

The items donated included: 1,000 bags of rice, beans, salt, maize, tomato paste, vegetable oil, seasoning cubes, nylon mats, mosquito nets, soap, garri, guinea brocade, adult and children\u2019s clothes and sorghum.<\/p>\n
