“The flood destroyed 6,583 houses and affected 38,814 people across the state. Additionally, 8,289 farmlands, covering 36,265 hectares, were ruined. The disaster displaced 1,414 people, left 139 injured, and claimed 49 lives,” Abdullahi-Kubarachi said.

In response to the crisis, SEMA, in collaboration with relevant agencies, distributed relief materials to alleviate the suffering of those impacted.

The agency also organised workshops aimed at preventing environmental hazards like flooding in the future.

Abdullahi-Kubarachi expressed gratitude to Governor Abba Yusuf for his support in providing logistics and other resources to aid the disaster response.

He warned residents against building on waterways and urged them to keep the drainage systems clear to reduce the risk of flooding.
