Hajiya Sadiya Umar Farouq, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, says the Federal Government will partner with the World Bank to conduct a post-disaster rapid impact assessment.
Farouq, who stated this at a Ministerial briefing, said that the assessment would use the Global Rapid post-disaster Damage Estimation .
“This rapid estimation is needed because the physical Post Disaster Needs Assessment will take between 6 to 8 months. She explained that the ministry had to also seek for durable solutions towards the return and resettlement of affected communities, continue to provide lifesaving emergency assistance, prevent the spread of diseases and ensure food security.
“The plan was developed by multiple stakeholders and all Ministries, Departments and Agencies and it finally received approval of the Federal Executive Council in September. Farouq described the loss of lives, property and farmlands caused by the flood as colossal and unfortunate. “We have taken interventions to the most hit states, including Bayelsa and Jigawa, Delta, Anambra and others affected by the floods and it is still ongoing.
