President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed an immediate Action Plan to halt the impending flood crisis nationwide. Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on the Media & Communications, Office of the Vice President, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday. According to the statement, Tinubu, represented by the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, made
the charge during an emergency meeting at Aso Villa in Abuja. The President set up a committee to be headed by Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, with a 7-day timeline to deliver a report. 'Based on the submissions by the DG of the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency, the situation is not that terrible, but to be forewarned is to be forearmed. The submissions by the other relevant stakeholders are equally poignant, and we can't afford to take chances.
Shettima noted that a feasible roadmap would address the flood crisis in Nigeria, adding that responsibilities would be shouldered by the North East Development Commission , Niger Delta Development Commission and the Federal Government. He stated: 'I deliberately invited the NEDC and NDDC so that whatever resources that NEMA has, they have to be released to the states so that they can start making preparations for any eventuality.
