Odu stated that they had completed the first two phases to ensure the burden of flooding was reduced and are now in the post-flood era.

She said: “We mentioned that there will be a third phase which is post- flood that is why we are here to make good our promise, the phase three has components within them, one component is agro-based, we are providing, the special cassava stem PME419, it is a variety that grows within a few months and that is what we are providing today.”

The deputy governor disclosed that fertilizers and farm implements, like wheelbarrows and shovels, are for agro-components, adding that medical consumables have been packed in four groups for the four LGAs that are being supported.

Odu said anti-malaria drugs are needed once there is a flood disaster, noting that they will be distributed to the four LGAs using the Medical Officers of Health to reach people in need.
