The Niger State government has called for the intervention of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), in tackling the humanitarian crisis caused by flood and bandits attacks.

Speaking when he visited the headquarters of NEMA, the deputy governor of Niger State, Yakubu Garba said the Internationally Displaced Persons (IDPs), numbering about 5000 are in need assistance and hence the need for the visitation.

He also said the floods have already started causing havoc in the state and there is the need for NEMA to assist the state in tackling these issues.

According to him, “The essence of visiting the NEMA is a familiarization  and also to acquaint the director general with some emergency situation that has been ravaging Niger State for the past six to seven years.
