This was contained in a statement issued yesterday by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, who said the Nigerian leader had extended his condolences to the families affected by the recent flooding across the country.

He said the president pledged that the federal government would continue to provide the needed emergency assistance to individuals and communities impacted by the disaster.

Buhari appealed to other public-spirited individuals and organisations to support the victims.

The president reiterated that the tragic events had brought to fore the need for states and local governments to step up their level of preparedness in handling emergencies, which remains a shared responsibility with the government at the centre.

Since January this year flooding has been reported in Lagos, Yobe, Borno, Taraba, Adamawa, Edo, Delta, Kogi, Niger, Plateau, Benue, Ebonyi, Anambra, Bauchi, Gombe, Kano, Jigawa, Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto, Imo, Abia States and the Federal Capital Territory, affecting 508,721 people.
