A civic group, the Centre for Africa Liberation and Socio-Economic Rights (CALSER), has called for transparency and accountability in the way emergency management agencies distribute relief items by the government and international donors to the flooded Nigerian communities and victims. CALSER noted that the assistance of International groups such as the US Agency for International Development (USAID) which provided $1 million in immediate humanitarian assistance must reach the targeted victims.
