The Borno State Flood Relief Distribution Committee has initiated the verification process for over 7,000 victims affected by recent flooding in Limanti Ward, located within the Maiduguri Metropolitan Council.

The exercise which commenced on Saturday at Abubakar ibn Garbai Elkanemi Primary School marked the second verification exercise following the earlier assessment in Gwange 1 where Governor Babagana Zulum launched the distribution exercise.

As part of the verification process, the names of those impacted have been publicly displayed at the district head’s palace for verification and feedback.

Similarly, a complaint desk has also been established on-site to address any concerns or omissions raised by the affected households.

The Chairman, Flood Relief Distribution Committee, Engr. Baba Bukar Gujibawu reaffirmed the committee’s commitment to conducting a fair and transparent verification process for flood victims.

He urged those affected to remain patient, assuring them that no legitimate victim will be overlooked.

“Today, we see the community of Limanti turning out in large numbers as early as 7am. We will meticulously follow the process to ensure that no one is left behind,” Gujibawu assured.

Recall that Governor Zulum on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 flagged off the distribution of relief items to over 5,000 victims of flood disaster in Gwange 1 ward.
