It was gathered that the supports were provided by ECHO through the International Federation of Red Cross and Crescent Society (IFRC) under its intervention project.

The acting secretary, Kogi State branch of the Nigeria Red Cross, Abdullahi Abubakar, disclosed this on Friday when his team visited the flood-affected Edegaki community in Kogi local government area.

Abubakar said the International Federation of Red Cross and Crescent Society (IFRC), had implemented series of humanitarian interventions under the ECHO project, adding that the visit was to get feedback from beneficiaries on how they utilised the items earlier distributed to them.

Abubakar noted that ECHO through its intervention project, had provided relief and recovery supports to thousands of flood-affected households in Kogi, Delta and Anambra states.

He disclosed that 1,100 households in Kogi State’s three most affected local government areas, including Idah, Kogi, and Lokoja local governments areas, have benefited from the project.

According to Abubakar, the relief items distributed included: 20-liter jerrycans, buckets, Aqua tabs and ATM preloaded with N77,000 for each benefiting household.

“Three communities, including Alla-Ogane, Alla-Atenoguma and Alla-Ichala, comprising 300 households, were covered in Idah, while four communities, including Galilee, Sarkin Noma, Edo and Kampe, with 400 households, benefited from Lokoja.

“In Kogi Local Government, four communities of Ogbangede, Irenodu, Onumaye/Edimose and Edegaki, with 400 households benefited from the initiative.

“The beneficiaries were selected based on criteria such as aged 60 and above, sick persons, people with disability (PWDs) and pregnant mothers, while communities most affected by the flood from each of the three Local Government Areas were selected as well,” he said.

Responding on behalf of Edegaki community, assistant community leader, Alh. Ahmed Ibrahim, who is also a beneficiary, thanked the ECHO and the Nigeria Red Cross and partners for providing the items to mitigate the devastating flood effects on their livelihoods.
