He said flooding was causing serious devastation in the State.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cNiger State has been having issues of insecurity of which I can\u2019t disclose here.<\/p>\n

\u201cAside from that, the weather forecast of this year showed adverse consequences of flooding, which we have been witnessing in Niger State.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further explained that the State government had sensitised the people in the affected areas to relocate to safer areas so that they won\u2019t be victims of the flood.<\/p>\n

Responding, the NEMA DG, Ahmed, assured that the agency was ready to offer humanitarian assistance to States facing crises in the country.<\/p>\n
