“The government is not relenting, we are on top of the game; we are doing what we need to do for all the citizens at least, to reduce the negative impacts of this unfortunate incident,” she said.

She however added that the government alone would not be able to bear the burden alone as such, calling on the Federal Government and the National Emergency Management Authority, NEMA, alongside other relevant agencies of government come to the assistance of the state.

“But their homes are gone, the state cannot handle this alone immediately, we are calling on the federal government, National Emergency Management Agency and other relevant agencies and NGOs to come to our aid at this critical time,” she pleaded..
